If you’re looking for a simple, no-stress way to cancel your Max (formerly HBO Max) subscription, you’re in the right place. Whether you signed up directly through Max or via the Disney+, Hulu, and Max bundle, CancelMySub.app breaks down exactly how to cancel your Max subscription.
Understanding Max Subscription Billing
Standalone Max Subscription
When you subscribe directly to Max via their website or app, you’re billed by WarnerMedia. This setup allows you to manage your subscription directly through Max’s platform.
Disney+, Hulu, and Max Bundle
The Disney+, Hulu, and Max bundle offers two primary plans:
- With Ads: $16.99/month
- No Ads: $29.99/month
In both cases, Hulu handles the billing. This means any changes to your subscription, including cancellations, should be managed through your Hulu account.
How to Cancel Your Max Subscription
If you subscribed directly through max.com, follow these steps:
🔹 Step 1: Go to the Max Website
Visit https://www.max.com and log in to your account. Pick a user if you have multiple.
🔹 Step 2: Access Your Account Settings
Click your profile icon and select “Settings” from the dropdown menu.
🔹 Step 3: Navigate to Subscription
In the settings area, find and click on “Subscription”.
🔹 Step 4: Select “Cancel Subscription”
This takes you to your billing portal.
✅ You’ll retain access to Max until the end of your billing cycle.

Here’s how to cancel:
🔹 Step 1: Log In to Hulu
Visit https://www.hulu.com/account and sign in.
🔹 Step 2: Go to “Your Subscription”
Click “Manage Plan” under the subscription section.
🔹 Step 3: Cancel Subscription
Locate the Max tile and uncheck it, or toggle off the full bundle if you no longer want any of the services.
🔹 Step 4: Confirm Your Changes
Click “Review Changes”, then confirm cancellation. You should receive a confirmation email.
❗ Note: Canceling Max through Hulu does not cancel Disney+ or Hulu. Manage each service separately.
Important: Canceling Max within the bundle doesn’t automatically cancel Disney+ or Hulu. Ensure you adjust each service according to your preferences.
How Billing Works in the Hulu + Disney+ + Max Bundle
When you subscribe to the bundle:
- Hulu is the primary billing provider, even though you access all three services.
- You pay $16.99/month (With Ads) or $29.99/month (No Ads).
- Removing Max will reduce your monthly cost, but not cancel Hulu or Disney+.
- You can pause or remove Max at any time without affecting the others.

FAQs About Canceling Max
Q: Will I get a refund after canceling Max?
A: No. You can continue watching until the current billing cycle ends, but Max doesn’t issue refunds for partial months.
Q: Will I lose my watch history?
A: No. If you resubscribe later with the same account, your profiles, settings, and watch history are usually restored.
Q: Can I pause Max instead of canceling?
A: Max does not currently offer a pause feature. Hulu, however, allows pausing your entire bundle for up to 12 weeks.
Final Thoughts
Canceling your Max subscription is straightforward—as long as you do it through the correct platform. If you’re subscribed through the Hulu bundle, remember that Hulu handles the billing, so any changes to your Max plan must be made via your Hulu account, not directly on max.com. Still juggling multiple subscriptions?
Use CancelMySub.app to track your billing, set smart reminders, and access direct cancellation links for services like Max, Hulu, Disney+, and more—all in one place.
