By Fan Tab · Updated 2026-10-19 · Every figure links to its source

Most NFL teams charged season ticket holders more for 2026. Here's every team-wide increase (or freeze) we could confirm from a team statement or a reputable news report. Fan forum posts don't count.

The short answer

A Carolina Panthers spokesperson told the Charlotte Observer that 75% of NFL teams raised ticket prices for 2026. We could source a team-wide figure for 14 teams. Of those, 9 raised prices and 5 held them flat. The biggest reported increase is the San Francisco 49ers (~+16.7% (reported)), followed by the Chicago Bears (+13.5% avg) and the Carolina Panthers (+12% avg).

The biggest increases

San Francisco 49ers: Sports Illustrated reported packages are "reportedly" up about 16.7% from 2025. That's the largest figure we found, though it isn't an official team number.

Chicago Bears: the Daily Herald reported an average increase of 13.5%, the largest firm average in our data (the 49ers figure above is "reportedly").

Carolina Panthers: the team's "overall blended ticket price" rose 12%, after increases of 6% in 2025 and 4% in 2024, according to the Charlotte Observer. The cheapest season seat went from $510 to $590.

Green Bay Packers: no single average, but the Green Bay Press-Gazette reported increases from 2.8% to 11% depending on the seat.

Houston Texans and Washington Commanders: both reported increases of "just under 10%." In Washington the upper bowl stayed flat, and the largest single increase was about 16%, per Sports Business Journal.

Denver Broncos: up an average of 9%, per The Denver Post.

New England Patriots: up 7% on average, and fewer than 15% of seats rose more than 10%. New York Jets: up 3.5% overall. Many cheaper seats stayed flat, while 56% of seats rose $5–$10 per game.

Teams that held prices flat

Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Las Vegas Raiders, Miami Dolphins and New Orleans Saints didn't raise 2026 season ticket prices. The Lions' freeze follows hikes of about 30% in 2024 and 25% in 2025 (MLive). The Browns cut many lower-bowl seats by 6–10%, the Dolphins cut some seats, and the Raiders' next increase is set for 2027, per the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Prices went up, but by how much?

The Los Angeles Rams say 2026 prices rose for every account but haven't published a percentage. For the Arizona Cardinals, receipts compiled by The Arizona Republic show sections 108/109 going from $2,740 to $3,010 (+9.9%) and sections 415/440 from $798 to $900 (+12.8%), but there's no team-wide figure. The Buffalo Bills moved into a new stadium, so there's no apples-to-apples comparison. Back in 2024, Sports Business Journal reported that some PSL members would see ticket prices nearly 100% higher than at the old stadium.

Teams with no confirmed figure

For Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers, Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles, Pittsburgh Steelers, Seattle Seahawks, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tennessee Titans, we found only fan-reported numbers or nothing at all, so we show "not published." If your team announces its 2027 renewal pricing, it'll appear on the tracker once it's sourced.
