Disney Settlement Deadline Looms for YouTube TV and DirecTV Subscribers

Today is the last day for YouTube TV and DirecTV subscribers to opt into a $50 million class action antitrust lawsuit settlement against Disney. The Walt Disney Co. allegedly violated antitrust law to force streaming services to raise their subscription prices.

Customers who purchased a YouTube TV subscription between April 1, 2019, and March 31, 2026, are eligible to file a claim. This also includes anyone who bought a DirecTV streaming live pay TV subscription - including DirecTV Stream, DirecTV Now, and AT&T TV Now - during the same period of time.

The settlement provides cash payments for those who submit a claim form online or via mail by today's deadline. If you want to be excluded from the settlement, your request must also be postmarked by today.
