Here's how to watch HBO Max in the UK

SAVE 49%: ExpressVPN is the best VPN for watching HBO Max from the UK. A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £85.25 and includes an extra three months for free — 49% off for a limited time.


HBO Max has been expanding its network in Europe this year, but the UK remains off the list. This isn’t going to change anytime soon, so you’ll need to sign up to a streaming-friendly VPN to watch HBO Max in the UK.

There are plenty of streaming-friendly VPNs to consider for this job, but ExpressVPN might be the best. To bypass HBO Max’s geo-restrictions, you just need to do is sign up to ExpressVPN and connect to a server in the U.S. This simple process makes HBO think you are based in the U.S. when you log in to your account, meaning you can watch all the shows and movies on the platform.

If you don’t already have a HBO Max account, you’ll need to create a new account using an American credit card or a gift card. This is where is gets a little more complicated. You’ll need to follow these steps to sign up if you’re based in the UK:

  • Open up ExpressVPN on your iOS/Android device and connect to a server in the U.S.

  • Create an Apple ID/Google Play account

  • Register your account on the app store

  • Download and install the HBO Max app

  • Create a new account in the HBO Max app with your email address and password

  • Pay with your UK PayPal account

We know this is a little laborious, but it’s worth it. Plus, ExpressVPN is on sale for a limited time.

A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £85.25, saving you 49% on list price. This plan includes an extra three months of coverage, a year of unlimited cloud backup for free, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Users also get 10 simultaneous connections, so everyone in your home can stream securely at the same time.
