If you paid for at least one renewal of a YouTube TV subscription through YouTube billing while living in California, you could be eligible to claim an estimated $92.26 from a $7.5 million class action settlement.
The lawsuit claims Google and YouTube did not comply with California’s automatic renewal law when selling YouTube TV subscriptions. You must submit a valid claim by August 30, 2026, to receive a payment.

How Much Can You Receive?
