HBO Max is making a strong summer pitch for anyone thinking about jumping back in. Starting today, new and returning U.S. subscribers can save 40% on a yearly Basic With Ads, Standard, or Premium plan when they subscribe directly through HBO Max, Prime Video Channels, and The Roku Channel, with the offer running through July 15, 2026.
That means you can lock 40% savings upfront instead of paying the monthly rates, with first-year prices landing at:
- $78.99 for Basic With Ads (about $6.58/mo.)
- $132.99 for Standard (about $11.08/mo.)
- $164.99 for Premium (about $13.75/mo.)
With discounts across all three plans, it makes finding the right one even easier. Basic With Ads includes Full HD streaming on 2 devices at once. Standard adds 30 downloads for offline viewing and live sports (NHL on TNT, MLB on TBS, NASCAR and more), while Premium bumps things up with 4K Ultra HD, Dolby Atmos, 100 downloads, and streaming on up to 4 devices at once, with 2 for sports.
