How Much Does an NFL Game Cost? Tickets, Parking, Beer & Hot Dog
Prices of most entertainments options have soared to new heights over the last few years. The NFL is a leader in that avenue.
For the fourth year in a row, Bookies.com has calculated the cost of attending NFL games at each stadium. The cost calculates what a family of four can expect to pay: four tickets, parking, four hot dogs, two beers and two sodas.

So what can a family of four expect to pay for an NFL game in 2025? Depends where you live, and which opponent you want to see.
On average, the cost for a family comes to $777.89. That’s actually a drop from 2024, when the average bill came to $808.20. Keep in mind, the 2024 number was the height of a 33.6% increase over the previous two seasons. The cost in 2022 was $536.77.
While concessions are holding relatively steady overall, tickets prices have surged to previously unimaginable heights. It’s supply and demand at its finest, and the demand is so high, NFL tickets on the secondary markets can stretch to $500 or more for the cheapest seats in the house.
Ten games in the 2025 NFL season has cheapest-available tickets at $440 or higher, and four games average over $500. Three of the five most-expensive games are in Detroit. The Lions, for the second year in a row, provided the most expensive gameday experience in the NFL.
Over the course of the whole season, a family of four going to a Lions home game could expect to spend $1,898.02, a cost that dwarfs the rest of the league.
The Philadelphia Eagles, fresh off a Super Bowl championship, leaped the Las Vegas Raiders and into the No. 2 spot. The Las Vegas Raiders, Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears round out the top 5.
Meanwhile, an entire family of four can enjoy a Tennessee Titans home game for $357.92 – cheaper than one single ticket to a Lions game.

Cheapest Available Ticket
Tickets make up the vast bulk of the cost of attending an NFL game. Getting tickets to some games is very easy, for others it’s far more difficult.
Finding the cheapest available ticket wasn’t always easy. Most teams don’t even provide price charts on their own sites, and nearly all teams provide a dynamic pricing system – any team that has the Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions, Kansas City Chiefs and Green Bay Packers on their home schedule jacks up ticket prices, while any team with the Arizona Cardinals or Tennessee Titans coming to town has lower.
For example, the cheapest seats for Carolina Panthers home games against the Bills cost $256, while they’re charging $45 for the same seats vs. the Saints.
Our totals averaged out the lowest widely available ticket cost for each home game over an entire season as of Aug. 24, 2025.
For the second year in a row, the Lions, by far, have the priciest tickets in the NFL. Detroit games average a robust $444 per ticket. For a family of four, it’s $1,777.50, up $244 from a year ago and a whopping $339 more than the second most-expensive four-pack of tickets.
The Eagles cost families of four more than $1,400, while the Raiders, Packers and Bears come in at just under $1,200.
One can find themes in the 10 most-expensive games to enter the gates have, all of which cost at least $443 per docket. The Cowboys are the road team in four of the nine costliest games. The Lions host three of the six priciest.
Four games cost over $2,000 just in tickets alone: Cowboys at Eagles (Sept. 4, NFL Kickoff), Cowboys at Raiders (Nov. 17), Packers at Lions (Nov. 27, Thanksgiving) and Steelers at Lions (Dec. 21).

Lot Parking
Nearly all NFL games are havens for tailgating, and most have massive parking lots to accommodate grills, RVs and huge pregame parties.
Bookies.com took the prices of those team-run lots and also incorporated nearby, non-stadium parking, averaging out all home games to one overall cost.
For the second year in a row, 49ers games in the Bay area ranked as the most-expensive. The Niners, Kansas City Chiefs and Detroit Lions each averaged out to $60 or more.
Beer/Soda Costs Widely Varied
NFL teams don’t post concessions prices – unless they’re lowered. Bookies.com reached out to teams and used other local sources for our preseason price charts. Generally speaking, concessions prices didn’t see across-the-board increases, at least compared to tickets.
We took beer prices and converted them all to 16-ounce size. The cost still varies wildly for a couple of pops. By far, Washington and Las Vegas charge the most for suds. At Commanders games, two beers will set you back nearly $34. It’s nearly as expensive at SoFi Stadium, home of the Chargers and Rams.
You can get the same cup for less than half the cost at games in Seattle, Atlanta, Cleveland, Miami and Detroit.
Soda prices are far less volatile. Two 20-ounce sodas cost $17-19 in Philadelphia and Tampa Bay, the highest marks. You’ll pay a fraction of that for the same drink in Atlanta, Indianapolis, Kansas City and Denver.
Hot Dogs Hold Steady
Nobody can compete with the Falcons for hot dog prices. Their $2 dogs are synonymous with games in Atlanta at this point. At some NFL stadiums, the cost is more than five times as high.
Buffalo charges more than $11 per dog. San Francisco and Washington aren’t much better.

Methodology
Tickets
Ticket costs reflect the lowest widely available single-game ticket price for each home game, averaged across the full 2025–26 season. Data was collected as of August 24, 2025 to ensure comparability across teams.
Lot Parking
Parking costs were derived from a mix of team-operated lots and independent lots within walking distance of the stadium. Bookies.com averaged these costs across all home games to establish a representative per-game parking expense.
Concessions (16oz. Domestic Beer, 20oz. Soda, Hot Dog)
Concession prices were sourced from a combination of mobile concession ordering apps, official team and stadium sources, reputable media outlets, and verified social media postings. Where current-season prices could not be confirmed, 2024 figures were adjusted by 2.7% to reflect year-over-year consumer price inflation, in line with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer Price Index (CPI) data as of mid-2025. This ensures consistency in reporting while aligning estimates with actual inflationary pressures on food and beverage costs.
