How Much Does It Cost to Attend an MLB Game: Dodgers Top List

The defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers rank atop our How Much Does It Cost to Attend an MLB Game in 2026? list for the second straight year. This year, a trip to Dodger Stadium costs our average family of four $413.16. And that's before buying any swag for the kids.

Fenway Park bills itself as "America's Most Beloved Ballpark." That passion, however, comes at a steep price. The Red Sox ($372.90) top the American League and rank No. 2 in our How Much Does It Cost to Attend an MLB Game in 2026? list. That's up from No. 4 in 2025.

Boston's beloved venue, which was opened in 1912 and remains the oldest venue in all of North American professional sport, has the highest average ticket price among MLB's permanent venues.

The Athletics ($324.08) rank No. 3, but carry an asterisk. This will be their second season playing at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento (13,416 cap), where limited inventory artificially inflates ticket prices. The A's plan on moving to Las Vegas in 2028. Their new stadium on the Las Vegas Strip continues under construction at the site of the former Tropicana Hotel and Resort.
