October 9, 2020 By Christine Margret No Comments 5 minutes

HBO Max is the new Netflix. The not-so-new streaming service that caught the attention of millions of streamers from the day it rolled out. HBO Max officially landed on 27 May 2020 with all the HBO content and extra shows, movies, and originals that you can’t stream elsewhere.

The only downside is that you cannot watch HBO Max outside the USA, just like Hulu and other streaming platforms.

Luckily, we have found a reliable workaround for you. All you need is to follow our step-by-step guide, and you’ll end up watching HBO Max in Sweden. We promise!

Why Can’t I Watch HBO Max in Sweden?

HBO Max is legally and geographically bound to the United States only. Therefore, the service cannot operate in any other region. All the available channels on HBO Max, including CNN, Hulu, BBC iPlayer, HBO, and Cartoon Network, pay to publish content only in the US. Hence, due to licensing agreements, the service is unavailable in Sweden.

How to Watch HBO Max in Sweden?

HBO Max uses IP detection tools to detect when someone tries to access outside the USA. The only practical way to access HBO Max in Sweden is by changing your IP address from Sweden to USA. Only a VPN can hide your real IP address and assign you a new IP of your chosen location. In this way, you can easily spoof the service while appearing as a viewer from the United States.
