Patriots Announce Final Decision On 2026 Season Ticket Prices

Originally posted on The Spun | By Daniel Bates | Last updated Mar 2, 2026 10:59 AM ET

After a handful of down seasons, the New England Patriots are reportedly cashing in on last year's Super Bowl success.

Prior to Mike Vrabel's arrival, the Pats had posted just one winning season since 2020.

But a 14-3 record and Super Bowl berth has changed the math in Foxborough and the team's season-ticket holders will have to pay even more of a premium to visit Gillette Stadium in '26.

Patriots raise prices on 'majority' of 2026 season tickets

Per Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald , Robert Kraft and the Patriots will be increasing the "majority" of season ticket prices for next season, with the deadline to renew coming at the end of this month.

The average increase will be roughly seven percent, with most season-ticket options increasing by less than 10%. Although about 15% of seats will see a price hike upwards of those figures.

According to Callahan, this is the first time the Pats have raised ticket prices to this degree in four years, and just the second since 2008.

New England currently has the eighth-highest average season-ticket prices in the NFL — putting them in that upper-tier of the league — with the lowest season ticket package costing $890.

Patriots name biggest offseason need

Before next season kicks off though, the Patriots have some roster moves they need to address. And The Athletic's Chad Graff laid out where he believes New England needs to go to maintain the course they're on:

“The Patriots feel like edge rusher is their biggest need,” Graff wrote Monday. “When Mike Vrabel landed this job a year ago, he said he wanted to build the Patriots through the trenches. Last season, they had four new starting offensive linemen."

“Now this season, look for them to revamp their edge rusher position. It won’t be a surprise if they spend big on the position in free agency and target an edge rusher early in the draft.”

The Patriots have 11 picks in the upcoming draft, but only three come within the top-100. So look for the Pats to potentially move up if they see a pass rusher they really like in the first couple of rounds.
