Activate or set up your HBO Max subscription

Already activated?

If you already activated your HBO Max subscription, you can sign in with your HBO Max email and password. You only need to activate HBO Max once.

New subscription? If you recently signed up for HBO Max through Hubbl or Foxtel, you need to activate HBO Max before you can start streaming HBO Max.

Here's what you need to do:

Step 1: Activate HBO Max

When you sign up through Hubbl or Foxtel, your provider will give you instructions on how to activate HBO Max. If you don't have activation instructions, choose your provider below or contact them for help. (Your provider is who you signed up for HBO Max through).

Foxtel

Web: Go to foxtel.com.au/setuphbomax and follow the steps.
Foxtel iQ box: On your iQ box Home screen, select HBO Max.

Hubbl

Go to hubbl.com.au/setup and follow the steps to activate HBO Max.

Step 2: Create or link your HBO Max account

If prompted, choose Get Started on the first HBO Max screen.
Enter an email address for your HBO Max account and choose Continue.
Complete the Create Your Account form and choose Create Account. You'll sign in with this info.

Troubleshooting

'Please check your account info' message

If you get this message, here are some things to try:

Go back to your provider activation page, and try following the activate link again.
Make sure that HBO Max is included with your provider subscription.

If none of these help, please contact your provider for support.

'Can't verify your subscription' message

Make sure HBO Max is included with your TV package. To do this, sign in to your TV, internet, or wireless account on your provider's website and make sure HBO Max is included. If this doesn't help, contact your internet, mobile, or TV provider for help.
