The $7.5 million YouTube TV class action settlement received preliminary approval from the court on June 18, 2026. The deal covers all California residents who, from February 1, 2017 to October 29, 2021, enrolled in and paid for at least one renewal term of a YouTube TV subscription, purchased via YouTube billing, for personal, family or household purposes.

Per court documents, the settlement does not cover consumers who enrolled in YouTube TV through iOS-based mobile apps from the Apple App Store, those who cancelled a YouTube TV subscription during a free trial, and those whose YouTube TV subscriptions were fully refunded by the defendants.
