How to Cancel Discovery+ in 2026 (Now Part of Max — You Might Be Double-Paying)

Updated 2026-02-22 · 5 min read

📌 Discovery+ Content Is Now on Max

Warner Bros. Discovery merged Discovery+ content into Max (formerly HBO Max). Most Discovery shows — HGTV, Food Network, TLC, Discovery Channel — are now available on Max. If you have both subscriptions, you're likely paying for the same content twice. Check your bank statement for both "Discovery+" and "Max" charges.

How to Cancel Discovery+

Through the Discovery+ Website

  1. Go to discoveryplus.com
  2. Click your profile → Account
  3. Click "Cancel Subscription"
  4. Confirm (you keep access until the end of your billing period)

Through Apple App Store

iPhone: Settings → Your Name → Subscriptions → Discovery+ → Cancel Subscription.

Through Google Play

Google Play → Payments & Subscriptions → Subscriptions → Discovery+ → Cancel.

Through Amazon / Roku / Other Platforms

If you subscribed through Amazon Prime Video Channels, Roku, or another platform, cancel through THAT platform — not Discovery+ directly. The Discovery+ website can't cancel subscriptions made through third parties.

Discovery+ vs Max: What's Different?

The Streaming Rotation Strategy

Instead of paying for Max + Discovery+ + Netflix + Hulu year-round ($40-70/month), rotate:

  1. Subscribe to one service for 1-2 months
  2. Binge everything you want to watch
  3. Cancel and switch to the next service
  4. Repeat through the year
  5. Cost: $10-15/month vs $40-70/month = $300-600/year saved

💡 Check Your Cable/Internet Bundle

Some cable and internet providers include Max or Discovery+ in their plans. Check with your ISP — AT&T, Spectrum, and Verizon Fios have offered free streaming bundles. You might already have access without paying separately.
