Streaming services have become a staple of modern entertainment, with platforms like Disney+, Hulu, and Max (formerly HBO Max) offering vast libraries of movies, TV shows, and original content. Many consumers look for ways to bundle these services to save money and streamline their subscriptions.
While Disney+ and Hulu have official bundle options (especially in the U.S.), Max (Warner Bros. Discovery’s streaming service) does not currently have a direct bundle with Disney-owned platforms. However, there are workarounds and third-party options that can help users access these services together at a discounted rate.

-
Hulu (NO ads)
-
ESPN+ (with ads)
-
This bundle is a great deal for fans of Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, Hulu’s TV shows, and sports content via ESPN+.
2. Why Isn’t Max Included in the Disney Bundle?
Max is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, a direct competitor to Disney. Unlike Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ (which are all under The Walt Disney Company), Max operates independently.
Key Reasons:
-
Corporate Competition: Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery are rivals in the streaming space.
-
Licensing Conflicts: Many shows and movies are exclusive to one platform (e.g., HBO content can’t appear on Disney+).
-
Revenue Sharing: Bundling would require profit-sharing agreements, which neither company currently supports.
For now, Max remains a separate subscription, but there are ways to get it at a discount alongside Disney+ and Hulu.
3. How to Get Max, Disney+, and Hulu Together (Unofficial Bundles)
Since no official bundle exists, users can combine services through:
a) Third-Party Streaming Deals (e.g., Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile)
-
Verizon’s +play offers discounts on Disney+, Hulu, and Max.
-
AT&T Wireless previously bundled HBO Max (now Max) with certain unlimited plans.
-
T-Mobile sometimes includes streaming perks for customers.
b) Annual Subscriptions (Save Up to 20%)
-
Disney+ and Hulu offer annual plans (cheaper than monthly).
-
Max also has an annual option (99.99/yearinsteadof99.99/yearinsteadof15.99/month).
c) Credit Card & Cashback Promotions
-
Some credit cards (Amex, Chase) offer streaming statement credits.
-
Cashback sites (Rakuten) occasionally have deals on subscriptions.

5. Could a Max-Disney+-Hulu Bundle Happen in the Future?
While unlikely due to corporate competition, potential scenarios could change this:
-
Partnership Deals: If Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery negotiate a shared bundle (similar to Paramount+ and Showtime).
-
Mergers/Acquisitions: If a larger media company acquires either Disney or Warner Bros. Discovery.
-
Market Pressure: If consumers demand cheaper bundles, companies may collaborate.
For now, the best option is to use third-party discounts or annual plans to save on all three services.

Conclusion
Currently, there is no official Max bundle with Disney+ and Hulu, but users can still access all three services at a discount through annual plans, third-party deals, and promotional offers. The Disney Bundle (with Hulu and ESPN+) remains the best official combo, while Max must be subscribed to separately.
If a Max-Disney+-Hulu mega bundle ever becomes available, it would be a game-changer for streaming—but for now, savvy subscribers can mix and match deals to enjoy all their favorite content at the best price.
