HBO Max is running a limited-time discount on annual subscriptions, coming just as the “House of the Dragon” season 3 premiere episode drops, and days before Prime Day arrives. In fact, this new streaming deal is so good that I doubt Amazon’s annual savings extravaganza will beat it.
From now until July 15, new and returning HBO Max subscribers can save 40% on a yearly plan. This deal is available on all three tiers: Basic With Ads, Standard, and Premium. And unlike many streaming deals (such as Paramount+’s summer savings), you get a discounted year of access rather than merely a couple of months.
With the discount applied, you can get HBO Max’s cheapest tier for $78 (was $109); that’s $38 off. Meanwhile, the Standard tier is on sale for $132 (was $184), and the Premium tier is $164, down from its regular price of $229 per year — which is a very sizeable $65 discount.
You do have to pay for the full year upfront, but these HBO Max discounts offer big savings. Particularly on the Premium tier, now $13 per month, a very significant drop from its standard $22 monthly cost. Just remember you have until July 15 to claim the deal, and there's no need for a coupon code. Follow the links above, and it's automatically applied at sign-up.
HBO Max has ranked at the top of our best streaming services guide for years, and for good reason. It offers one of the best libraries out there, with phenomenal TV shows courtesy of HBO (such as "Heated Rivalry, "Euphoria," and “Industry”), and plenty of blockbuster movies from Warner Bros. Pictures (including 2026 Oscar winners like “One Battle After Another” and “Sinners”).
However, the one show dominating HBO Max at present is, of course, the return of “Game of Thrones” spin-off “House of the Dragon,” which just dropped the premiere episode of its third season on Sunday (June 21). With this deal, you can catch up now or watch along as the fantasy drama unfolds in a season that is promising to go big on dragon-fueled spectacle.
HBO Max is a streaming service I’ve strongly recommended numerous times at its regular price, so being able to sign up for a yearly plan at such a large discount is definitely one of the best streaming deals I’ve spotted so far this summer. If you’re a new/returning subscriber, make sure you sign up and enjoy a full year of HBO at a reduced price.
