Cancel Max on the web or app, or through Apple, Google, Amazon, Roku, YouTube TV, or your cable provider - and keep watching until your paid period ends.
Max is the streaming service formerly known as HBO Max. The cancellation process is the same as most streaming services: easy if you are billed directly, and routed through your billing provider if you are not.
Max carries the same billing-platform rule as every major streamer: whoever took the first payment has to be the one to stop future payments. This guide covers the direct Max route and the most common third-party billing paths.
Cancel on the WebRecommended
Go to max.com and sign in
Click your profile icon and select "My Account"
Choose "Manage Subscription"
Select "Cancel Subscription" and follow the prompts
Confirm - you will see the date your access ends
Cancel in the Max App
The mobile app uses the same Account path as the web. If you do not see a cancel option, your subscription is billed by a third party and Max cannot cancel it for you.
If You're Billed Through Apple, Google, Amazon, Roku, YouTube TV, or Cable
When a third party handles billing, cancel from that platform:
Play Store → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Max → Cancel
Amazon
Account → Memberships & Subscriptions → Max → Cancel
Roku
Settings → Subscriptions → Max → Cancel subscription
YouTube TV
YouTube TV → Membership settings
Cable or telecom provider

Streaming Subscriptions Multiply Quickly
Max is rarely the only streamer on a card. A single live list of every subscription, its cost, and its renewal date is how you catch the overlap - and a reminder before each renewal turns every charge into a decision.
If Max is part of a wider streaming audit, Quick Unsubscribe takes you straight to the cancel page for each service in your list.
Cancelling Netflix takes about two minutes once you know where you are billed. The only real catch is third-party billing - if you signed up through Apple, Google, or PayPal, the cancel button is not inside Netflix.
Cancelling Disney+ takes two minutes once you know who bills you. The one thing to watch in 2026 is the Hulu merger - if you are on a Disney+ and Hulu bundle, the cancel path is not where you expect it.
Cancelling Hulu is quick once you know who bills you. The one wrinkle in 2026 is that Hulu is being folded into Disney+, so many accounts are now part of a bundle and cancelling one part may not cancel the other.
