One of the reliable streaming deals we see every Black Friday and Cyber Monday is on Max, and sure enough one popped up this year... but just as reliably, it won't last forever, and you've not got long until it expires.
The Max Cyber Monday deal ends at some point on Monday, December 2 (which is today if you're reading this as it's being written). Max hasn't said when during the day it'll end, but most other streamers' deals end at 11:59 pm PT so it could be the same.
This Max Black Friday deal will save you 70% on the monthly fee of a Max subscription for half a year, so you can catch up on all the latest Max shows (I'm prepping for House of the Dragon!).
Max is one of the most expensive streaming services out there, with its wide library of Warner Bros. movies, HBO shows, Discovery factual programming and quite a bit more, all setting you back between $9.99 and $19.99 per month.
Not any more, though! Here's what you need to know about the Max Black Friday deal including what it's on and how long it lasts for. But first, the deal itself:

The Max Black Friday deal
What you need to know about the Max Black Friday deal
When does the Max Black Friday deal end?
To get this Black Friday deal on a Max subscription, you'll need to sign up before Monday, December 2.
Will there be a Black Friday deal on any other Max plans?
It's unlikely that Max would stagger out its Black Friday deals, and I feel pretty confident that this is the only tier that'll see a price cut.
It's also the tier we saw a discount on last year, and in fact it was the exact same deal:
Why a Max Black Friday deal could be doubly good
When I was doing some research into Max's previous Black Friday offerings (it was a year ago, okay, I can't remember that far back!) I found a Reddit post from someone who'd taken Max up on the offer last year.
After working through their six months of discounted subscription and trying to cancel, Max had offered them a further three-month subscription for a reduced price of $5 per month.
In fact, the more I researched, the more I found other users recounting a similar experience. So while a Max deal might seem like it's set for a limited time, the streamer is obviously keen to keep you subscribed.
Obviously, this deal is applied on a case-by-case basis, and so not everyone will get it. Therefore we can't treat it like a 'full' deal, but if you simply can't decide between two streaming services, it might help tip the balance.
Will there be more Black Friday streaming deals?
There are few types of gadget, item or subscription service that don't see Black Friday discounts, so if you want to test out a different streamer or want to buy a nice big TV to watch Max on, there will be options out there.
There were a fair few Black Friday deals on streaming services in 2023, and this could be the case in 2024 too. Hulu, Peacock, Paramount Plus, Fubo and Philo also saw discounts on monthly subscriptions of various lengths.
Above you can find linked my guides on all the other streaming services and whether they'll see discounts over 2024's Black Friday.
How much does Max cost?
Disregarding deals, how much does Max cost for a subscription usually?
The cheapest price you can get for Max is $9.99 per month. This is for the Max with ads plan, which shows you commercials and doesn't let you download content, and there's an annual equivalent at $99.99 for a year.
The next tier up is Max ad-free. This costs $16.99 per month or $169.99 for a full year, and you can use it to watch content without commercials, in 4K and downloaded onto devices.
There's also Max Ultimate ad-free at $20.99 per month or $209.99 for a year. The difference that makes this Ultimate is that you can listen to Dolby Atmos sound on supported titles, plus a higher number of downloads and simultaneous screens for streaming.
