Can I stream Max while traveling?

If you're a Max subscriber and you travel outside the US, you won't be able to stream, sign in, or access your Max account. You also can't stream HBO Max if you travel outside the US.

If you have the Ad-Free or Ultimate Ad-Free plan, you can watch shows and movies that you've already downloaded (you need to already be signed in to do this).

Before you travel outside the US:

  1. Download shows and movies on your phone or tablet.
  2. Make sure you're signed in to Max on the device with your downloads.

While you travel:

Before you open Max, turn on Airplane mode and turn off Wi-Fi. Now you can watch your downloads when you're outside the US.

Note  To access your downloads, you may need to restart your device.
