NFL ticket prices continue to climb heading into the 2026 season, as marquee matchups carry eye-popping prices on the secondary market. Meanwhile, home games in places like Tennessee, New Orleans and Atlanta go begging for people to fill the seats. Our NFL Cheapest Games Ranked Top 25 list features a healthy dose of teams in SEC Country. Proving that for many fans in that region, football is indeed played on Saturday.

Five games on our list take place at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, which closes as the home of the Titans after this season. In addition, the Titans are the visiting team in another.

The least-expensive get-in price for the NFL season is the Jaguars-Titans game, scheduled for Week 10 at Nissan Stadium. According to Ticketmaster data, the cheapest ticket - Section 320, Row HH, Seat 1 (image below) - for that game will set you back a whopping $23.18, plus tax.

According to Ticketmaster, meanwhile, average primary-market NFL ticket prices for the regular season generally range from roughly $145 to more than $400 depending on the matchup, location and demand. On the resale market, however, premium games are already soaring well beyond those figures.

Here's the rundown of the lowest "Get-In" ticket prices NFL this season. It's based on the lowest available get-in price via Ticketmaster as of May 19.

A few things that jump out — the Titans dominate with 6 appearances, all but one as the home team, and they hold the 4 cheapest games. Tampa Bay appears twice but only as the away team — their games are cheap wherever they go. And 15 of the 32 teams don't appear at all, meaning the cheap seats are very concentrated among the NFL's second tier. No surprise there.

Bills Opener Has The Highest 'Get-In' Price Of The Season

Fans in Buffalo, however, will pay the highest get-in price of all this year for the opening game at the new $2.1 billion version of Highmark Stadium on Thursday, September 17, against the Lions. The lowest ticket available in our survey for that game checks in at a whopping $701.50.

Meanwhile, the Titans play their final season at the very unremarkable Nissan Stadium. That venue's best attribute is that one can walk back to the heart of Nashville after the latest Titan's loss. The Titans' projected win total sits at just 6.5 at DraftKings, acting as another drag on ticket prices.

That backdrop is what makes the NFL’s cheapest tickets especially noteworthy in 2026. While some headline games are becoming luxury purchases, there are still pockets around the league where fans can attend games without spending hundreds just to get in the building.
