SiriusXM has agreed to pay $28 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging the company made unsolicited telemarketing calls to people who were on do-not-call lists. If you received repeated calls from SiriusXM between April 27, 2019, and October 31, 2025, and you were either registered on the National Do Not Call Registry or had asked SiriusXM directly to stop calling, you may be eligible for up to approximately $1,500. The claims deadline is March 21, 2026, and you can file online at SXMTCPASettlement.com or by mail. The case, Campbell et al.

V. Sirius XM Radio Inc., was brought under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, a federal law that restricts telemarketing calls and gives consumers the right to sue when companies ignore do-not-call requests. SiriusXM has denied any wrongdoing but agreed to the settlement rather than continue litigating. For anyone who spent years fielding unwanted calls from the satellite radio company — say, a former trial subscriber who canceled in 2020 but kept getting pitched renewal offers through 2024 — this settlement represents a real opportunity to collect compensation.

Who Is Eligible for the SiriusXM TCPA Settlement and What Are the Key Dates?
Eligibility comes down to two requirements working together. First, you must have received more than one solicitation call from siriusxm within any 12-month period between April 27, 2019, and October 31, 2025. Second, you need to fall into one of two categories: either you were not a SiriusXM subscriber and had been on the National Do Not Call Registry for at least 31 days before the calls, or you specifically asked SiriusXM to put you on their internal do-not-call list and they called you anyway. The calls can have been received on any type of phone — landline, cell, wireless, or mobile. The timeline ahead is straightforward but tight.
Claims must be filed by March 21, 2026. If you want to object to the settlement terms, the deadline for that is March 27, 2026. The court has scheduled a final approval hearing for May 11, 2026, where a judge will review the settlement, consider any objections, and decide whether to grant final approval. Payments are expected to go out approximately 30 days after final approval, assuming no appeals delay the process. To put this in perspective, if everything goes smoothly at the May hearing, checks could start arriving by mid-June 2026 — but if someone files an appeal, the timeline could stretch considerably.
How Much Money Can You Actually Expect from This Settlement?
The headline figure is up to approximately $1,500 per claimant, but that number deserves some context. The $28 million settlement fund is not distributed equally among all class members regardless of how many file. Instead, payments are calculated on a pro rata basis, meaning the amount each person receives depends on the total number of valid claims submitted and how much remains in the fund after legal fees and administrative costs are deducted. If relatively few people file claims — which happens more often than you might think in class action cases — individual payouts could approach that $1,500 ceiling.
However, if the settlement generates a high volume of claims, each person’s share shrinks accordingly. TCPA settlements tend to attract significant attention because the per-person amounts can be meaningful, so it would not be surprising to see strong participation here. There is no minimum potential payout disclosed in the settlement terms, so if hundreds of thousands of claims pour in, individual payments could end up being far more modest. The bottom line: file your claim, but do not count on a specific dollar figure until the administrator processes all submissions and the court grants final approval.
Understanding the TCPA and Why SiriusXM Faced This Lawsuit
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act has been one of the most actively litigated consumer protection statutes in the country for over a decade. It prohibits companies from making telemarketing calls to numbers listed on the National Do Not Call Registry and requires companies to maintain their own internal do-not-call lists when consumers request it. Violations can carry statutory damages of $500 per call, and up to $1,500 per call if the violations are found to be willful — which is why even a company as large as SiriusXM had incentive to settle rather than risk a trial. The plaintiffs in Campbell et al. v.
Sirius XM Radio Inc. alleged that SiriusXM ran a telemarketing operation that systematically ignored both the national registry and individual opt-out requests. Consider someone who bought a used car that came with a SiriusXM trial period. After the trial ended, they never subscribed, but SiriusXM allegedly continued calling them to pitch subscriptions — even though their number had been on the Do Not Call Registry for years. That pattern, repeated across potentially thousands of consumers over a six-year window, is exactly the type of conduct the TCPA was designed to prevent. SiriusXM has not admitted that it did anything wrong, which is standard in class action settlements, but the $28 million price tag speaks to the strength of the allegations.
How to File Your Claim Before the March 2026 Deadline
You have several options for submitting your claim, and the process is designed to be accessible regardless of your comfort level with technology. The most straightforward method is filing online at SXMTCPASettlement.com, where you can complete the claim form and submit it electronically. If you prefer paper, you can download the claim form from the same website, fill it out, and mail it to: SXM TCPA Settlement Administrator, 1650 Arch St., Suite 2210, Philadelphia, PA 19103. The form must be postmarked by March 21, 2026. One notable feature of this settlement is the range of payment options available.
Claimants can choose to receive their payment via prepaid Mastercard, PayPal, Venmo, direct deposit, or Zelle. This is more flexible than many class action settlements, which often default to mailed checks that go uncashed. If you have questions about the process, you can call 1-866-566-4210 or email Info@SXMTCPASettlement.com. The tradeoff between filing online versus by mail is mostly about speed and confirmation — online submissions give you immediate confirmation that your claim was received, while mailed forms carry the risk of postal delays or lost mail, especially as the deadline approaches. If you are filing in March 2026, file online to avoid any last-minute issues.
Common Pitfalls and Situations Where You Might Not Qualify
The eligibility criteria contain a few details that could trip people up. The most significant is the subscriber exclusion. If you were an active SiriusXM subscriber at the time you received the calls, you likely do not qualify under the National Do Not Call Registry prong of the settlement — the registry generally does not apply to companies with which you have an existing business relationship. You would only qualify if you had specifically asked SiriusXM to place you on their internal do-not-call list and they continued calling you after that request.
Another common point of confusion involves the 31-day requirement. Your phone number must have been on the National Do Not Call Registry for at least 31 days before SiriusXM called you. If you registered your number on the list after receiving the calls, or if the calls came within the first month of your registration, those calls would not count. Additionally, you need to have received more than one call within a 12-month period — a single unwanted call, while annoying, does not meet the threshold for this particular settlement. If you are unsure whether you qualify, it may be worth filing anyway and letting the settlement administrator make the determination, since there is no penalty for submitting a claim that is deemed ineligible.
What Happens at the Final Approval Hearing in May 2026
The May 11, 2026 final approval hearing is the next major milestone in this case. At that hearing, the judge will review the settlement terms, consider any objections filed by class members before the March 27 deadline, evaluate the attorneys’ fee request, and decide whether the settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate. In most TCPA class actions of this size, final approval is granted — but it is not automatic.
If the court receives a significant number of objections or identifies problems with the settlement terms, the judge could request modifications or, in rare cases, reject the settlement entirely. Assuming the court approves the settlement and no appeals are filed, the administrator will begin processing payments approximately 30 days later. Appeals, if any, can add months or even years to the timeline. This is worth keeping in mind if you are counting on the money for a specific purpose.
The Broader Trend of TCPA Enforcement and What It Means Going Forward
This SiriusXM settlement is part of a larger wave of TCPA enforcement actions that have collectively resulted in billions of dollars in settlements and judgments over the past decade. Companies across industries — from cable providers to debt collectors to health insurance marketers — have faced similar lawsuits for ignoring do-not-call lists. The size of the SiriusXM settlement, $28 million, signals that courts and plaintiffs’ attorneys continue to take these violations seriously, and that companies face real financial consequences for aggressive telemarketing practices.
For consumers, the practical takeaway is that registering your number on the National Do Not Call Registry and documenting unwanted calls remains one of the most effective tools available. If you receive telemarketing calls after being on the registry for more than 31 days, keep a log of the dates, times, and caller information. That documentation could prove valuable if a class action is filed later — or if you decide to pursue an individual TCPA claim, which can yield $500 to $1,500 per violation without needing to join a class.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I received calls from SiriusXM during the eligible period?
Check your phone records or call logs between April 27, 2019, and October 31, 2025. If you recall receiving repeated calls from SiriusXM pitching subscriptions or renewals, you may qualify. You do not necessarily need to produce phone records to file a claim, but having them strengthens your submission.
Can I still file a claim if I am a current SiriusXM subscriber?
It depends. Current subscribers generally do not qualify under the Do Not Call Registry prong because of the existing business relationship exception. However, if you specifically requested that SiriusXM place you on their internal do-not-call list and they called you afterward, you may still be eligible regardless of your subscription status.
What if I already filed a complaint with the FCC or FTC about SiriusXM calls?
Filing a government complaint is separate from this class action settlement. A previous complaint does not automatically enroll you in the settlement — you still need to submit a claim form through SXMTCPASettlement.com or by mail before March 21, 2026.
Will filing a claim affect my current SiriusXM subscription or service?
No. Filing a claim in this settlement should have no impact on any active SiriusXM subscription or service. The settlement resolves past telemarketing conduct and does not affect your ongoing account relationship.
What happens if the court does not approve the settlement?
If final approval is denied at the May 11, 2026 hearing, the case would likely return to litigation or the parties would negotiate revised settlement terms. This outcome is uncommon in TCPA cases of this nature, but it would delay any payments to class members.
Is there a cost to file a claim?
No. Filing a claim is free. You do not need to hire a lawyer, and there are no fees associated with submitting your claim form online or by mail.
