Thanksgiving week has arrived, and several early Black Friday sales have launched, including the Max Black Friday deal. The discount offers savings on the streaming service's cheapest plan, offering up HBO content, live sports, and much more for just a few dollars each month.

The deal discounts Max's monthly "With Ads" plan for six months. Subscriptions usually cost $9.99 per month, but users can sign up for just $2.99 a month for half a year before the subscription renews at its standard rate. The deal runs from now through Cyber Monday (December 2), so you can get the deal any time in the next week.

Although Max started as HBO's streaming counterpart, it has evolved into a true entertainment hub. In addition to classic on-demand HBO programming, the service now offers Emmy Award-winning original shows (including "Hacks"), the latest Warner Bros. film releases (like "Dune: Part Two"), and live sports courtesy of the B/R Sports add-on (currently free with all subscriptions, although it will eventually cost an additional fee).

Max isn't the only streaming service offering major savings ahead of Turkey Day. You can check out our guide to more Black Friday streaming deals and the overall best Black Friday deals.

FAQ

Who is eligible for the Max Black Friday deal?

New and returning customers are both eligible for the Black Friday deal. This means that you should still be able to cash in on the savings even if you've had a Max subscription in the past.

Are there other Max plans?

There are two other Max plans: Ad-Free and Ultimate Ad-Free. Neither plan is currently offering a sale for Black Friday. Ad-Free costs $17 per month, and Ultimate Ad-Free costs $21 per month. Their greatest appeal is in the name — ad-free streaming — but both tiers also come with some other perks. The Ad-Free plan allows users 30 downloads. The Ultimate Ad-Free plan includes 100 downloads, Dolby Atmos audio when available, 4K Ultra HD when available, and the ability to do it all on up to four devices at once.

Are there annual Max plans?

All three Max tiers also have annual versions. Although the annual subscriptions aren't a part of any Black Friday deal, you'll find some savings year-over-year by subscribing annually. The With Ads annual plan costs $100 per year, the Ad-Free annual plan costs $170 per year, and the Ultimate Ad-Free annual plan costs $210 per year.

Can you bundle Max with other streaming services?

You can bundle Max with Disney Plus and Hulu for $17 per month with ads or $30 per month without ads.
