Yes, DirecTV typically requires customers to sign contracts for their satellite TV services, particularly if they choose to sign up for bundled packages or promotions. These contracts usually last for two years. If you cancel before the contract term ends, you may be subject to an early termination fee (ETF). The fees can vary, but they typically start at around $20 per month remaining on your contract, up to a maximum of $480.
However, there are some exceptions. For example, DirecTV has started offering more flexible options in certain cases, including some no-contract plans or short-term agreements, especially for new customers or those switching from other providers.
It’s always a good idea to check the specific terms and conditions at the time of signing up to understand any potential contracts and associated fees.
