What to Do If HBO Max Is Down

If you are having trouble accessing HBO Max, try these troubleshooting steps before concluding that the service is experiencing an outage.

1

Check your internet connection

Before assuming HBO Max is down, verify that your internet connection is working. Try loading a different website like google.com. If other sites also fail to load, the problem is with your connection, not HBO Max.

2

Clear your browser cache and cookies

Corrupted cache data can prevent HBO Max from loading properly. Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again. In most browsers you can do this from Settings > Privacy > Clear Browsing Data.

3

Try a different browser or device

If HBO Max does not load in your current browser, try a different one (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). You can also try accessing HBO Max from your phone or a different computer to rule out device-specific issues.

4

Flush your DNS cache

Stale DNS records can prevent your device from connecting to HBO Max. On Windows, open Command Prompt and run "ipconfig /flushdns". On Mac, open Terminal and run "sudo dscacheutil -flushcache". On Linux, run "sudo systemd-resolve --flush-caches".

5

Try using a VPN

If HBO Max is blocked in your region or your ISP is having routing issues, connecting through a VPN may resolve the problem. This is especially helpful if HBO Max works for others but not for you.

6

Check your streaming device

If HBO Max is not working on a smart TV or streaming device, try restarting the device, updating the HBO Max app, or reinstalling it. Streaming issues can sometimes be caused by outdated app versions or insufficient device storage.

Why is HBO Max not working?
There are several reasons HBO Max might not be working for you: (1) HBO Max could be experiencing a server-side outage affecting all users; (2) your internet connection may be down or unstable; (3) your DNS cache may be stale; (4) a regional network issue could be affecting your connection to HBO Max's servers; or (5) HBO Max may be performing scheduled maintenance.
