Disney Settlement Claim Deadline: Time Is Running Out for Streaming Subscribers to Apply for a Payment
Eligible subscribers could receive pro rata cash payments from a $50 million fund after fees and costs are deducted, the administrator said.
- Today, September 8, 2026, marks the final deadline for eligible streaming subscribers to file claims for a $50 million settlement involving The Walt Disney Company. Claims must be submitted online or postmarked by today.
- The class-action lawsuit, Biddle v. The Walt Disney Company, alleges anti-competitive practices increased costs for streaming subscribers. Eligible claimants purchased YouTube TV or DirecTV Stream subscriptions between April 1, 2019, and March 31, 2026.
- Allocation of the net settlement fund depends on residency during the relevant period. Ninety percent goes to eligible class members in Repealer Jurisdictions, while the remaining 10% goes to those in Non-Repealer Jurisdictions, calculated on a pro rata basis.
- Payments will not be issued immediately after claims are submitted. The settlement requires final court approval at a hearing scheduled for January 14, 2027, before distribution begins.
- Disney denies any wrongdoing or antitrust violations, opting to resolve the litigation through settlement rather than proceeding to trial. The court has not ruled that the company violated the law.
