To cancel HBO Max on Xfinity when the subscription is billed through your Comcast account, you have to do it through Xfinity rather than on the Max site or app. There are three ways: the Xfinity website, the X1 or Flex remote, or the Xfinity mobile app. Each takes a couple of minutes, and you keep access through the end of your current billing cycle.
Check That Xfinity Is Actually Billing You for Max
This step saves time. Max can be billed through Xfinity, directly through Max, or through an app store like Apple or Google, and the cancellation path depends entirely on who collects the payment. If you signed up on the Max website or through an app store, Xfinity cannot cancel it for you.
Pull up your most recent Xfinity bill in the app or at xfinity.com. If Max shows up as a line item, the steps below apply. If it doesn’t, cancel wherever you originally subscribed.
Cancel on the Xfinity Website
Go to the Xfinity StreamStore at xfinity.com, sign in, and click “Manage” next to your streaming subscriptions. Select Max and follow the prompts to remove it.1Xfinity. How to Cancel StreamSaver – Xfinity Help The Max charge drops off your next bill.

- Or go to On Demand, then Networks, then Subscription Add-ons, and open the Max channel page.2Xfinity. Subscribe, Unsubscribe, and Manage Internet Subscription Video On Demand (iSVOD) Channels
On the channel page, choose “Manage my Subscription” and then the unsubscribe option. You can also press the Info (i) button while watching the channel and select “My Subscription” to reach the same screen. Confirm on-screen and the change syncs to your account.
Cancel in the Xfinity App

If Max Is Part of a TV Bundle
If Max came included with your Xfinity TV package rather than as a separate streaming add-on, the self-service tools above may not show an unsubscribe option. Premium channels like HBO can sometimes be removed individually, but bundled channels generally can’t be peeled off without changing the whole tier.
If none of the three methods offers an unsubscribe button, that’s a strong sign Max is tied to your bundle. Contact Xfinity to discuss modifying the plan, and ask the representative to walk you through the cost impact before confirming, since removing a bundled premium channel can change your monthly rate or shift you to a different tier.

Check for a Duplicate Subscription
A common and expensive mistake is paying for Max twice: once through Xfinity and once directly through Max or another platform. Canceling through Xfinity only stops the Xfinity-billed subscription. Xfinity’s StreamStore page warns that third-party billed subscriptions continue until canceled separately.5Xfinity.

After You Cancel
Look for a confirmation email at the address tied to your Xfinity account and save it. If a charge appears on a later bill, that email is your proof the cancellation was requested.
Access to Max continues through the end of your current billing cycle, and the app may take until the cycle ends to fully deactivate. For a NOW subscription, Xfinity confirms that turning off autopay leaves service active through the end of the cycle with no further billing after that date.6Xfinity. Manage Your NOW Subscriptions
If a charge shows up on your next statement despite the confirmation, contact Xfinity support with the email in hand. Billing errors on canceled streaming add-ons are not unusual, and documentation makes them faster to resolve.
