How to Watch Free Movies and Series on Max
Max is offering a dedicated section to watch on-demand video content. In the section, you can watch all the video content for free even without a registered Max account.
If you are a PC user, like me, go to the Max Watch for Free webpage. You will get free movies and TV shows.

HBO Max Past Offers
When HBO Max was launched, it offered a free trial for seven days. Then, during the Wonder Woman 1984 release time, the service stopped its free trial offerings.
And in late 2020, Amazon Prime Video offered a 7-day free trial for HBO Max when signed up using the Prime Video account. Similarly, Hulu, YouTube TV, and DirecTV offered HBO Max a free trial for a while and discontinued it. Now, you need to add the Max addon on YouTube TV or Hulu only by paying the subscription.
As of now, there are no free trial options available for Max.
