California YouTube TV subscribers who experienced automatic renewals are poised to have a share in a multimillion-dollar settlement addressing claims the service failed to follow state disclosure rules.
Google LLC and YouTube LLC agreed to the proposed $7.5 million settlement resolving allegations of not fully complying with California’s automatic renewal law.
The lawsuit was launched because the companies allegedly failed to provide required disclosures for the sales of automatically renewing subscriptions for YouTube TV
The complaint claims the violations occurred through YouTube billing for subscriptions renewed between February 1st, 2017, and October 29th, 2021, while class members lived in California.
Excluded from the settlement are subscribers who paid for YouTube TV through iOS-based mobile applications from Apple’s App Store, YouTube TV subscriptions that were cancelled during a free trial and YouTube TV subscriptions that were fully refunded.
Eligible class members enrolled and paid for at least one renewal term during that period may receive an estimated $92.26 on a pro rata basis.
Claims must be filed by August 30th, 2026, and the final approval hearing is set for October 15th, 2026. Those who wish to exclude themselves from the settlement can do so by 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on or before August 30, 2026.
Payments will be issued approximately 105 days after final approval.
Google and YouTube deny the allegations but agreed to settle to resolve the claims “to avoid burdensome and costly litigation.”
