Everything You Can Watch On HBO Max - And How To Know If You Can Get It For FREE!

A few months ago we were rolling our eyes every time we heard about yet another streaming service — but now that we’re stuck inside so much of the time we’re actually totally stoked for another option!

Especially when it turns out we ALREADY HAVE IT FOR ZERO EXTRA MONEY!

That’s the case for a LOT of customers with the brand new HBO Max which finally launches today.

Who Has It Already

While new customers can subscribe to the service for $14.99 a month, anyone who already has an HBO sub through any of these providers just got HBO Max AUTOMATICALLY!

AT&T TV
AT&T U-Verse
DIRECTV
Comcast X1 and Flex
Hulu
Verizon Fios TV
Spectrum
Suddenlink
Optimum
Cox Contour
YouTube TV
Altice
NCTC (WOW!, Atlantic Broadband, RCN, Grande Communications & Wave and MCTV)

Additionally if you subscribe to HBO Go or HBO Now on Apple TV, Android TV, XBox One, or PS4 you can simply get the new app (or app upgrade) and use your current login there.

Who Doesn’t

Unfortunately, a big omission is everyone who has HBO through their Roku or Amazon Fire TV or Amazon Prime Video — those customers are NOT getting HBO Max as their parent companies have not yet reached an agreement. Ouch.

OK, but for everyone else let’s talk about all the programming you’re getting…

What’s On It

Obviously there’s all the original programming HBO customers were used to — we’re talking award-winning shows like:

Game of Thrones
Sex And The City
Chernobyl
Boardwalk Empire
Big Little Lies
Deadwood
Westworld
Last Week Tonight
Veep
Silicon Valley
The Sopranos
The Wire
Rome
Band of Brothers
Oz

However there are also some new heavy hitters coming to the service…
