How to get a Max free trial is a pressing question for any TV lover or cinephile. With its deep library of shows and movies, Max, formerly known as HBO Max, is our top pick among the best streaming services. Not only does it get HBO originals and new releases from Warner Bros. studios after their theatrical releases, but you get access to decades of shows and movies from numerous networks and studios. You even get live sports right now through the Bleacher Report sports add-on.
When HBO Max first launched in May 2020, it offered a seven-day free trial, making it easy to see for yourself what the fuss is all about. Unfortunately, it looks like Max has stopped offering a free trial. Even worse, it's no longer offering free trials through Amazon Prime Video Channels or Hulu add-ons, which were the last remaining ways to get a few days of Max for free.
