Want A Break From HBO Max (For Now)? Here’s How to Cancel HBO Max

With so many streaming platforms out there, subscribers may be looking to take a break from HBO Max, which is one of the more expensive options. According to a 2019 study by Forbes, the average American subscriber watches 3-4 streaming services (which can be hard to juggle) and the marketplace has only grown since then. The upside to streaming services, unlike traditional cable, is that there are no contracts and you can cancel and rejoin at any time.

HBO Max, which is owned by parent company WarnerMedia, is really the place to be in 2021 considering the platform’s pandemic-fueled arrangement with Warner Bros. to stream some of its blockbuster hits this year as they hit theaters. Subscribers have already been able to watch such films as Wonder Woman 1984, Godzilla vs. Kong & Mortal Kombat. The platform is also home to shows like Friends, HBO originals including Game of Thrones, and HBO Max originals such as The Flight Attendant and Made for Love.
