Welcome to the Biddle, et al. v. The Walt Disney Company Class Action Settlement Website

Please read below for more information about this lawsuit, your legal rights, and options.
Current Status
This is the current status of the suit.
A $50 million ($50,000,000) partial settlement has been reached in a class action antitrust lawsuit filed by YouTube TV Plaintiffs, DirecTV Stream Plaintiffs, and FuboTV Plaintiffs (together, “Plaintiffs”) against The Walt Disney Company (“Defendant”). The Notice only applies to YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream Plaintiffs. FuboTV Plaintiffs have not settled with Defendant.

The lawsuit alleges Defendant violated federal antitrust law and various state antitrust and consumer-protection laws by engaging in various forms of conduct to raise the prices of Streaming Live Pay Television (“SLPTV”) and that these acts caused the Settlement Classes to incur damages. Defendant denies any wrongdoing but has agreed to settle the lawsuit.

The Settlement Classes consist of the YouTube TV Settlement Class and the DirecTV Stream Settlement Class.

The “YouTube TV Settlement Class” includes all persons who purchased a YouTube TV subscription from the period beginning April 1, 2019, through March 31, 2026.

The “DirecTV Stream Settlement Class” includes all persons who purchased a DirecTV streaming live pay TV subscription (including DirecTV Stream, DirecTV Now, and AT&T TV Now) from the period beginning April 1, 2019, through March 31, 2026.

If you are a member of the Settlement Classes, you can submit a claim form to receive a pro rata (a legal term meaning equal share) cash payment proportional to the length of your YouTube TV and/or DirecTV Stream subscription. In addition to this monetary benefit, Defendant has also agreed to certain non-monetary relief.

The Court has not decided who is right or wrong. Your legal rights are affected whether you act or do not act. Please read the notice carefully.
