How to Watch the Friends: The Reunion on HBO Max for Free?

Friends: The Reunion is a 2021 reunion special of the American television sitcom Friends. The special sees the main cast revisit the sets of the original show (such as the Friends’ apartments, the Central Perk coffee shop, and the signature water fountain), meet with guests who appeared on the show as well as celebrity guests, do table reads and re-enactments of Friends episodes, and share behind-the-scenes footage. 

The backstage footage of the Friends cast wandering around their recreated sets, sharing private little in-jokes, was probably the reunion that most people wanted to see. Not only did it show us the dynamic that the cast shared – with Schwimmer as the leader, LeBlanc as the low-energy joker and Aniston as the quick-to-cry heart – but it felt like eavesdropping on a group of acquaintances. True, it got a bit sappy towards the end; I’m not sure anybody needed the climactic weep-reel soundtracked by what can only be described as Friends Gone In Memoriam. But at least it felt insightful.

Even though Netflix was the streaming home of Friends for years, the series left Netflix since 2020. Now HBO Max currently has the rights to Friends in the US. Therefore, it’s the exclusive choice for streaming all 10 seasons, the same goes for the Friends Reunion. You won’t be able to watch the Friends Reunion on Netflix, Hulu, Peacock, or other streaming services. 

In the U.S., you can watch the Friends Reunion exclusively on HBO Max – the official streaming platform from HBO. To stream the Friends Reunion, you need to subscribe the HBO Max at $14.99 per month, but existing HBO subscribers (including HBO Now customers) can get the service for free. As HBO Max is currently only available in the US, fans in other parts of the world need other platforms to stream the Friends Reunion. If you want to watch the Friends Reunion offline, just use the downloaded feature to save the video on your mobile devices. Keep in mind, the downloaded video is time-limited. It will expire after 30 days or within 48 hours when you first start watching.

If you attempt to keep the Friends Reunion for a long time and play the videos freely at leisure, the best way is to download videos in a commonly used format.
