How to Install & Use HBO Max on FireStick

Last updated January 20, 2021 By Patrick

In this article, you will find the steps to install HBO Max on FireStick. These steps will also work on FireStick Lite and all other Fire TV devices including Firestick 4K.

HBO is one of the most popular pay-TV services worldwide. Owned by Warner Media Studios, HBO offers a wide range of quality entertainment in the form of TV shows and TV movies.

You can now stream all the original content from HBO on your FireStick with the HBO Max app. This app is now available for download via the Amazon Appstore.

However, HBO Max is not just about the HBO originals. It also sources licensed content from several third-party media services and distributors. For instance, HBO Max has acquired the rights to stream the very popular sitcoms Friends and The Big Bang Theory.

You will also find top-notch content from the services like DC, TCM, Adult Swim, Studio Ghibli, Cartoon Network, Looney Tunes, Sesame Workshop, and more.

All in all, HBO Max is one of the best Fire TV Stick apps if you are looking for high-quality entertainment.

Sign up for HBO Max

HBO Max is a paid service and you will need to sign up for a subscription. Therefore, I am providing the steps to buy the subscription first before I take you to the installation steps.

Note: If you are already a customer of the HBO cable TV channel, HBO Max is free for you. You do not need to pay the monthly subscription fee separately.

Follow the steps below to sign up for HBO Max:

1. On any browser of your choice, go to https://hbomax.com

2. Click SIGN UP NOW on the web page or the SIGN UP button in the top-right corner

3. Choose one of the available subscription plans. As I write this guide, two plans are available:

  • $14.99 per month
  • $69.99 for 6 months

Note: The six-monthly plan currently offers a 20% discount. The subscription prices may change later.

On the following page, provide the required information (including your name and email address) and click CREATE ACCOUNT

On the subsequent page, provide your payment and billing information to buy the subscription in order to use HBO Max on FireStick and other devices.

Currently, only credit/debit card payments are supported.
