Satellite radio company SiriusXM reached the final approval stage of a $28 million Telephone Consumer Protection Act class action settlement on May 11, 2026, with a hearing held by the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois. The settlement \u2014 in Campbell v. SiriusXM Radio, Inc.<\/em>, No. 2:22-cv-2261 \u2014 resolves claims that the company placed unsolicited telemarketing calls to consumers despite their being on the National Do Not Call Registry or having asked SiriusXM to stop calling. The case provides a textbook example of how internal Do-Not-Call list failures can produce nine-figure exposure for major consumer brands.<\/p>\n

The allegations<\/h2>\n

The lawsuit, filed in November 2022, covered a class period stretching from April 27, 2019 through October 31, 2025. According to the plaintiffs, class members received more than one telemarketing call from SiriusXM within any 12-month period during that window \u2014 despite either being listed on the National Do Not Call Registry or having directly asked SiriusXM to add them to the company\u2019s internal Do Not Call list.<\/p>\n

Settlement payments are capped at up to $1,500 per affected class member who filed a claim by the March 21, 2026 deadline. The exclusion and objection deadline passed on March 27, 2026, clearing the way for the May 11 final approval hearing.<\/p>\n

Why the settlement matters<\/h2>\n

The $28 million figure places this settlement among the larger TCPA resolutions of the past several years, but the more meaningful aspect of the case is what it reveals about the structural compliance challenges facing large consumer-facing companies. Honoring an internal Do-Not-Call request sounds simple in principle, but in practice requires consistent data flow between customer support systems, marketing platforms, telephony vendors, and any partner or affiliate channels that place outbound calls on a brand\u2019s behalf.<\/p>\n

Failures in any one of these systems can produce calls to consumers who have explicitly asked the company to stop. Over a multi-year period and across a customer base measured in the tens of millions, even a small per-customer error rate can generate a class of significant size.<\/p>\n

The regulatory and litigation context<\/h2>\n

The SiriusXM settlement comes during a period of intensifying TCPA enforcement activity. Class action filings remain at elevated levels in 2026, federal courts have been actively scrutinizing consent and compliance claims, and the Federal Communications Commission\u2019s regulatory agenda continues to evolve. Earlier in 2026, the Fifth Circuit rejected the FCC\u2019s \u201cprior express written consent\u201d rule, and the FCC has signaled potential rollbacks of other telemarketing rules in pending rulemaking activity.<\/p>\n

Against that backdrop, the Campbell settlement is a reminder that even where some legal rules are easing, the practical enforcement risk for companies that mismanage their consumer contact data has not. Class action attorneys continue to pursue cases aggressively, and the costs of defending \u2014 let alone losing \u2014 these matters can run into the tens of millions of dollars.<\/p>\n

What other companies can learn<\/h2>\n

For other consumer-facing businesses with significant outbound calling or texting programs, the SiriusXM case underscores several practical priorities. Internal Do-Not-Call requests need to be captured comprehensively across every channel where they can originate, propagated to every system that places outbound contact, and preserved through every data migration and vendor change.<\/p>\n

Just as importantly, partner and affiliate contact relationships need to be governed by contractual requirements that ensure shared suppression. A consumer who asks a company to stop calling doesn\u2019t distinguish between calls placed by the company itself and calls placed by partners on the company\u2019s behalf \u2014 and increasingly, neither do the courts.<\/p>\n

Companies that contact consumers by phone or text increasingly screen their outbound lists against databases of known TCPA plaintiffs before dialing. Services such as TCPALitigatorList.com<\/a> compile numbers tied to serial filers and frequent class-action plaintiffs, and a quick pre-call check against that list can keep a business out of expensive litigation it never should have been in.<\/p>\n

The takeaway<\/h2>\n

Whether the court formally approves the settlement following the May 11 hearing or requires modifications, the case is already serving as a marker for how seriously TCPA compliance must be treated by companies operating at scale. For businesses across consumer industries, the operational disciplines that prevent cases like Campbell \u2014 clean opt-out capture, reliable suppression propagation, robust partner governance \u2014 are no longer optional best practices but core risk-management requirements.<\/p>\n
