HBO Max subscription: Deals, discounts and how to save

Prefer WhistleOut in Google

HBO Max has become the go-to destination for top-tier HBO and Warner Bros Discovery content in Australia. With major exclusives like the Game of Thrones spin-offs A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and the upcoming third season of House of the Dragon, HBO Max has taken over from Binge as the streaming destination for premium drama in Australia. 

That premium content also comes with a premium price tag but, fortunately, there are a few discounts available to help you lock in lower rates.

Save up to 17% with HBO Max annual plans 

If you prefer to pay annually, HBO Max’s yearly plans offer an even bigger discount. Each annual discount will save you between $23 and $43 per year when paid upfront compared to the regular monthly rate, essentially netting you two months free. Here's how much each annual subscription costs and how much you stand to save compared to a monthly subscription:
