FAQ: Watch Max with a VPN
What is Max?
Max is the name of the newly merged streaming service from HBO Max and Discovery Plus. The new streaming service will be home to HBO movies and series that you’re already familiar with, alongside Discovery content, creating the largest streaming library of any platform with 15,000+ titles.
Here’s everything you need to know about Max, including its availability and pricing.
Is Max the same as HBO Max?
Well, kind of. Max is a mix of HBO Max and Discovery Plus; it carries all of HBO Max’s content while also incorporating titles from Discovery, HGTV, TLC, and more.
Max is a direct replacement for HBO Max, but Discovery Plus will also continue to operate as a standalone service with Discovery-only content and the same (lower) subscription fees.
Will Max be free for HBO subscribers?
If you sign up for HBO with a pay-TV provider, you may get access to Max for free.
What channels will Max include?
Max will have the HBO Max movies and series that you’re already familiar with. That means all your favorite HBO, DC, Harry Potter, and Cartoon Network titles will be available. Discovery Plus’ content will also be available in Max’s catalog, including many popular reality TV series.
Why is HBO Max becoming Max?
Max aims to be a more robust standalone service by offering content from both HBO Max and Discovery. By dropping the HBO name and including more family-oriented and reality content, Max hopes to appeal to audiences of all ages.
When will Max launch?
Max launched on May 23, 2023, in the U.S. and will gradually roll out to the rest of the world over the next year. It is expected to be available globally by end-2024.
Here’s when to expect the launch of Max in your region:
United States: May 23, 2023
Latin America: 2023
Europe: 2024
Asia: 2024
Can I stream Max for free?

Why streamers love ExpressVPN for Max
Perfect. Unlike other VPNs that took forever to stream anything, with ExpressVPN I never notice a difference at all. It takes a lot to make me happy but this did it for me.
Have been using this service for two years now... it's infallible. Works with every app and streaming service. Uptime is good, no stuttering or delay on streams.
This is the first VPN service that doesn't slow down or buffer my streaming services while I'm at home. I appreciate that and thank you all for doing it right!
