What is the YouTube TV auto-renewal settlement about?
The YouTube TV auto-renewal class action settlement resolves a lawsuit alleging that YouTube and its parent company Google violated California's Automatic Renewal Law by enrolling consumers in YouTube TV subscriptions that renewed automatically without clearly disclosing the renewal terms or obtaining proper affirmative consent. The case, Dutcher et al v. Google LLC d/b/a YouTube (Case No. 20CV366905), was filed in Santa Clara Superior Court. YouTube and Google denied wrongdoing but agreed to a $7.5 million fund to settle.
If you are a California resident who paid for at least one YouTube TV renewal between February 1, 2017, and October 29, 2021, through YouTube billing (not through the Apple App Store), you may be entitled to claim an estimated $92 in cash with no proof of purchase required. The claim deadline is August 30, 2026.
