HBO has made an effort to strike partnerships with several streaming providers. This has helped to make streaming the network much easier. It also is much more affordable for many people already using some of the popular services on the market. Below are the newest ways to watch during this season.

Hulu’s new streaming service is a new way to watch HBO and Game of Thrones online. The Hulu on-demand streaming option costs either $7.99 per month, with limited commercials, or $11.99 per month, with no commercials. Additionally, there’s a beta service currently available to stream live TV channels on Hulu for $39.99 per month.
All of the subscription options have a weeklong free trial and will get you full access to Hulu’s massive streaming library. The live streaming option offers more than 50 channels to live stream.

This’ll also let you watch older seasons in case you want to do some research to answer some of the biggest questions leading up to this season.
If you’d prefer to not sign up for Amazon Prime, you can sign up for Prime Video as a standalone service for $9 per month. Whether you choose the full Prime membership or the Prime Video subscription, you’ll be able to take advantage of a 30-day free trial.
