Summary
Disney’s facing a $50 million payout in a class-action lawsuit over allegedly using its control of ESPN and Hulu to force up streaming prices for rivals like YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream. The case, which began in 2022, claims Disney’s bundling tactics made live TV more expensive for everyone. Though Disney denies wrongdoing and no court has found them guilty, they’re settling without admitting fault — a common move to avoid lengthy trials. Eligible subscribers of YouTube TV or DirecTV Stream between April 2019 and March 2026 may receive a payout based on subscription length and claim volume, after fees. Final approval is set for January 14, 2027, with payments to follow. You’ll need a special ID from your notice — no old receipts required.
