What's available

HBO Max launched in Croatia in 2022 and brought a solid library with it. You get access to flagship HBO originals like The Last of Us, House of the Dragon, Succession, Euphoria, and The White Lotus. Warner Bros. films are well represented, including the DC Extended Universe titles and recent theatrical releases. Max Originals like The Idol and And Just Like That... are also available. Croatian subscribers can also stream classics like The Sopranos, The Wire, and Game of Thrones in full.

What you're missing

The Croatian library is smaller than the US version. Several titles are either unavailable or delayed due to regional licensing deals. Notable gaps include:

  • South Park — not available in Croatia
  • Sesame Street originals and kids' exclusives
  • Certain Turner Classic Movies (TCM) titles
  • Some Warner Bros. catalogue films that remain region-locked
  • Select Max Original documentaries released only for US audiences
  • Raised by Wolves — unavailable in several European markets including Croatia

How to access other regions

To unlock the full US HBO Max library from Croatia, you need a VPN. A VPN masks your IP address and makes it appear as though you're browsing from another country. Here's how to do it:

  • Subscribe to a reliable VPN — we recommend NordVPN as the top choice for streaming
  • Connect to a US server (New York or Los Angeles work well)
  • Open HBO Max and log in or create a US account
  • You'll now see the full American content library

NordVPN consistently bypasses HBO Max's geo-blocks and offers fast enough speeds for 4K streaming without buffering.

Pricing

HBO Max in Croatia is priced in Euros following Croatia's adoption of the currency in 2023. Plans typically start around €5.99/month for the ad-supported tier, with the ad-free plan running approximately €9.99/month. Pricing can shift, so check the HBO Max website directly for the latest rates.

Our recommendation

If you're in Croatia and want the best HBO Max experience, the local library covers the essential hits and is well worth subscribing to. But if you want everything — especially titles locked to the US — pair your subscription with NordVPN, connect to a US server, and you'll have access to one of the largest streaming libraries available anywhere in the world.
