How to Watch Game of Thrones Online

This article explains how to watch all eight seasons of the Game of Thrones series on Max (formerly HBO Max), Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and The Roku Channel. You can also buy the series digitally, and watch it anytime, anywhere.

How to Watch Game of Thrones on Max

Max is on numerous smart devices, including iOS, Android, Apple TV, and Chromecast devices. It's also accessible through a web browser. Customers who subscribe to HBO through their cable provider can use their credentials to create an account.

If you use a cord-cutting service such as Hulu with Live TV or YouTube TV, you can add on Max for an additional fee. YouTube TV even offers an Entertainment Plus bundle that allows you to add Max, Showtime, and Starz for less than the cost of adding those channels individually.

Alternatively, users can create a brand-new Max account with a monthly subscription.

Is Game of Thrones on Hulu or Amazon?

Subscribing to HBO and downloading a new app may be a big ask, so you may be wondering if Game of Thrones is available for streaming on a service that you already subscribe to. Technically, it is accessible on Hulu, Amazon, and Roku. However, all three of these options require additional payment.

How to Watch Game of Thrones on Hulu

Hulu has an optional HBO Max add-on, and subscribing to this add-on will give you access to HBO originals, Game of Thrones included, on your Hulu app. You can enjoy the familiar Hulu interface while watching the prestige show. You will also be able to create an HBO Max account using your Hulu credentials as a result.

How to Watch Game of Thrones on Prime Video

Amazon Prime Video has what it calls Prime Video Channels. HBO is one such channel, and subscribing it will give you access to HBO originals within the Prime Video interface. However, you cannot create an HBO Max account with Amazon. This is due to Amazon's current business disagreements regarding HBO Max on Fire TV devices.

How to Watch Game of Thrones on the Roku Channel

Similarly, The Roku Channel on Roku devices and the Roku mobile app feature Premium Subscriptions, with HBO being one such subscription that customers can choose. By subscribing to HBO through Roku, you can watch Game of Thrones. Like with Amazon, your Roku login will not work in creating an HBO Max account.

Is Game of Thrones on Apple TV or Netflix?

Newer Apple TVs have a Max app. It is possible that Amazon and Roku will follow suit, should their business deals with WarnerMedia for Max support go through.

But is Game of Thrones available on Netflix, the biggest streaming giant of them all? Unfortunately, the show, along with anything in HBO's catalog, is not part of Netflix's massive streaming library.

How to Purchase Game of Thrones Online

If you prefer a sense of permanence and don't want to depend on subscription services, you can purchase all of Game of Thrones digitally. Storefronts that sell the HBO series include Apple TV, Amazon, Google Play, Microsoft Movies & TV, and Vudu. Most of these stores allow you to purchase episodes piecemeal, or better yet, by season.

How to Watch House of the Dragon Online

If you've finished Game of Thrones and want more of the story, the prequel, House of the Dragon, is also available on Max. This series takes place about 200 years before Game of Thrones, at the height of the Targaryens' reign.
