SiriusXM has agreed to a $28 million class action settlement to resolve allegations that it violated the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by making unsolicited telemarketing calls.

The settlement covers consumers who received more than one telemarketing call from SiriusXM between April 27, 2019, and Oct. 31, 2025, even if their numbers were registered on the National Do Not Call Registry or SiriusXM’s internal Do Not Call list.

Allegations of Unsolicited Calls

Plaintiffs in the case alleged that SiriusXM repeatedly contacted them without prior express written consent, a requirement under the TCPA. The subscription radio provider offers a wide range of channels, including music, news, and sports, but critics say the calls crossed the line.

While SiriusXM has not admitted any wrongdoing, the company agreed to settle the class action to avoid prolonged litigation.

Settlement Terms and Benefits

Under the SiriusXM $28M settlement, class members will share in the net settlement fund equally, though individual payments will vary depending on the total number of valid claims submitted. No estimates for individual payouts have been provided yet.

In addition to financial compensation, SiriusXM committed to updating its telemarketing practices. The company will scrub calling lists, implement stricter calling policies, and adopt other compliance measures to prevent future TCPA violations.

Deadlines and Final Approval

Class members wishing to exclude themselves or object to the settlement must do so by March 27, 2026. To receive a payment, claim forms must be submitted no later than March 21, 2026.

The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for May 11, 2026, where a judge will review and approve the agreement.

The SiriusXM case highlights the growing scrutiny over telemarketing practices and underscores the importance of consent and compliance in customer outreach — a cautionary tale for subscription-based services nationwide.
