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:

Download shows and movies on your phone or tablet.
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.

Can I stream HBO Max if I travel to the US?

If you subscribe to HBO Max in a country other than the US, you won't be able to stream, sign in, or access your HBO Max account when you travel to the US. You also can't stream Max if you travel to the US.

You can, however, still play HBO Max shows and movies that you've already downloaded (to do this, you need to sign in before you travel).

Before you travel

Download shows and movies (up to 30).
Make sure you're signed in to HBO Max on the phone or tablet with the downloads.

This way, you can watch your downloads when you travel to the US.

While you travel

When you open HBO Max in the US, you'll see a 'HBO Max isn't available in your region yet' message. When this happens, choose the Downloads icon arrow pointing down, bottom edge to watch your downloads.
