What is the Disney antitrust settlement about?
The Disney antitrust class action settlement resolves a lawsuit alleging that The Walt Disney Company and other defendants conspired to artificially inflate the prices of live pay-TV streaming services, including YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream (formerly DirecTV Now and AT&T TV Now). Plaintiffs allege the conduct violated federal antitrust law by keeping streaming prices artificially high for millions of subscribers. Disney denies any wrongdoing but agreed to pay $50 million to settle.
The settlement class covers individuals who subscribed to YouTube TV or a DirecTV streaming service between April 1, 2019 and March 31, 2026. No documentation is required — eligible subscribers self-certify their subscription period on the claim form, under penalty of perjury. Final approval is scheduled for January 14, 2027.
