Premier League Season Ticket Prices 2026/27: Every Club, Verified.

The 2026/27 season ticket table: all 20 clubs

Sorted cheapest first. “Official table” means we read the club's complete numeric price list; “official” means the club announced the decision but not a full table; “reported” figures come from corroborated press or fan-shared renewal data under an official decision. West Ham, Wolves and Burnley were relegated and are not part of the 2026/27 Premier League. The full dataset is downloadable as CSV — free to reuse with attribution.

This table is maintained: we review it when clubs announce 2027/28 pricing and whenever a club publishes figures it previously withheld. Spotted something off? Tell us — corrections with a source are folded in within days.

Methodology: how these figures were verified

Every figure in the table above was checked against the club that set it, in a fixed order of preference. First choice is a club's complete published price list — a numeric table or PDF covering every stand and category, which is what “official table” means in the source column. Where a club announced a decision without publishing full numbers, the figure is labelled “official” and taken from that announcement. “Reported” marks the small number of figures that come from corroborated press coverage or fan-shared renewal paperwork under an announced club decision. Where a club publishes nothing at all, the table says “not published” rather than carrying an estimate.

One distinction explains most of the disagreement between published price tables, and almost nobody states it. “Cheapest adult” is not one number: most clubs sell a small allocation of restricted seats — a family area, a corner, the top rows — priced below their cheapest ordinary adult seat. Newcastle’s £380 is a limited block of Level 7 rows; their cheapest standard seat is £730. Chelsea’s £700 is the East Lower family centre against £880 elsewhere, and Brentford’s £485 is the family area against £520. It is not a reliable rule, either — at Brighton the family seat costs more than the standard one. Round-ups pick one basis or the other without saying which, which is why they contradict each other and each other’s previous years. Where the two differ, this table gives the restricted price and names the standard price alongside it in the same cell, so you can compare on whichever basis you need.

“Cheapest adult” means the lowest-priced adult general-admission season ticket a supporter can actually buy, including any compulsory booking fee where the club adds one. Concession, junior, student and senior prices are excluded, as are hospitality, executive and premium-club products — those are a different market and would distort a like-for-like comparison. Where a club sells both a league-only and a cup-inclusive ticket, the league-only version is used, which is why Arsenal appear at £978 rather than the £1,291 most round-ups quote. Cost per game divides the cheapest adult price by the 19 home league fixtures every Premier League club plays.

Prices were collected and cross-checked in the week to 2 August 2026. The table is reviewed whenever a club publishes figures it previously withheld, and again when 2027/28 pricing is announced. Corrections with a source are welcome and are folded in within days — see the update log at the foot of this page.

A quarter of the league froze prices

The defining story of 2026/27 pricing is restraint at the top: five clubs — Manchester City, Tottenham, Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest — froze season ticket prices outright. City's freeze is now in its third consecutive season and Spurs' in its second, both landed after formal consultation with fan advisory boards — a notable shift after Tottenham's pricing controversy. Chelsea's freeze extends to match-by-match tickets too, and Forest paired theirs with the return of a Young Adult category that saves 18–21-year-olds up to £340 on an adult season card.

Liverpool took a different route to the same reputational end: a rise capped at January's 3% CPI figure — at most £1.42 more per game — with a freeze for 2027/28 announced a season in advance. No other club has pre-committed next year's prices.

The sharpest rises are at the promoted end

Where prices moved, the established clubs mostly stayed in a narrow 3–5% band. The real inflation is among the promoted trio cashing in a Premier League season: Coventry lifted standard-zone season tickets 15.7% (from £540 to £625) and premium seats by a third — and still sold every general-admission seat, with a waiting list now open for 2027/28. Ipswich raised renewals 12–14% and locked the rise in regardless of results. Sunderland's tenure-based system produced a reported 12.2% average rise, the steepest among returning clubs, though long-standing holders and £5-a-game junior prices soften it considerably.

What “cheapest” really means

Season ticket tables are littered with definitional traps, and most price round-ups fall into them. Arsenal's famous “cheapest £1,291” figure is really the cheapest upper-tier price on a 23-match ticket that bundles UEFA home games — the club's own table shows a 19-game Premier-League-only ticket from £978. Newcastle's £380 is real but covers two rows of Level 7; their cheapest normal category is £730. Hull's headline price isn't a season ticket at all but the cheapest zone of a monthly Membership — £33 a month in Zone 1, £50 in Zone 3, and Leeds' £510 buys any seat in Elland Road — the first whole-stadium single price in Premier League history. Where a figure carries an asterisk like that, the table above says so in the row itself.

The club that won't say

Fulham confirmed a 3.5% rise “across all Season Ticket categories and stands” for 2026/27 — and published nothing else. Each holder receives their exact price privately by email, making Fulham the only Premier League club whose season ticket prices can't be checked publicly. Because no price is published, the only public figure is a supporter estimate: the Fulham blog Craven Pod compounds the club's four announced rises — 18% in 2023/24, then 4%, 2.8% and 3.5% — to put a Hammersmith End (blocks H3–H6) adult renewal about 30.6% above its 2022/23 level, at roughly £718. That is a derived figure, not a club one: it chains percentages rather than comparing two published prices, its authors call it approximate, and it tracks the single stand that took the largest increase, so it is Fulham's worst case rather than its cheapest seat. The club's Fan Advisory Board endorsed the final figure after consultation; the Fulham Supporters' Trust told the BBC it remained “worried” by the direction of travel at Craven Cottage, where top non-hospitality seats have been reported above £3,000.

Five seasons of price rises

A single season’s percentage tells you very little. What matters is where a club has arrived after five years of decisions — and there the league splits sharply. Seven clubs have published a comparable cheapest-adult price in every season since 2022/23, which is the only honest basis for a cumulative figure.

Nottingham Forest are the outlier by a distance: up 49.4% in five seasons, nearly eight times Tottenham’s 6.1%. One caveat belongs with that number — Forest scrapped their 18–23 concession band in 2023/24, so “adult” now begins at 20 rather than 24, and part of the rise is a definitional change rather than a price increase.

At the other end, freezes are doing the heavy lifting. Manchester City’s £425 and Tottenham’s £856 have both been flat for three seasons, and Spurs’ 6.1% over five years is below UK inflation for the same period — a real-terms cut at the club with the most expensive general-admission ticket in England. Liverpool are the most restrained of the traditional big clubs at 7.2%, having gone nine years without any increase before a 2% rise in 2023/24. Manchester City and Manchester United both landed on 21.4% by opposite routes: City front-loaded a 10.4% rise then froze three years running, while United raised prices every single season.

The pattern that emerges is not the one you would expect. It is the mid-table clubs, not the giants, whose prices have climbed fastest — Bournemouth’s 26.7% and Forest’s 49.4% outpace every club above them in the table.

Eight clubs are missing from this table for good reasons, and it is worth saying why rather than quietly dropping them. Arsenal changed what a season ticket buys — they now sell a 19-game and a 23-game version, so the endpoints do not count the same matches. Everton moved stadium. Newcastle’s cheapest 2026/27 price is a limited block of Level 7 rows, a different product from the figure that came before it. Chelsea never announced a 2022/23 price. Fulham publish nothing. Aston Villa and Crystal Palace have gaps we could not fill from a published source, and Brentford’s 2024/25 figure is disputed between two outlets.

One note on sourcing, because it differs from the rest of this page. The 2026/27 column is verified against club sources as everywhere else, but the four earlier seasons come from contemporaneous press round-ups — no club keeps its old price lists online. We cross-checked them: multiplying each club’s 2023/24 price by the separately published 2024/25 percentage change reproduces the 2024/25 price to within a pound for ten of eleven clubs. Newcastle was the single failure, which is why they are excluded above rather than quietly included.

Junior, young adult and senior prices

Every Premier League club discounts by age, but only 13 of the 20 publish what those prices actually are — which makes concessions the least transparent corner of football pricing. Where a club publishes a full table, the savings are substantial: the cheapest junior season ticket in the league is Ipswich’s £49 for under-12s, followed by Brentford at £80 for under-11s in the family area, Bournemouth at £89 and Hull at £96. Everton freeze their under-11 “Kid” price at £199 across the whole stadium.

The young-adult band is where clubs have moved most. Nottingham Forest reinstated an 18–21 category for 2026/27 at £415 in Zone 4, against £915 for the adult equivalent in Zone 1 — the £340 saving the club advertised. Tottenham widened their 25%-off band to age 25. Liverpool raised the upper limit of their young-adult band from 21 to 24, with the cheapest at £367.25 on the Kop. Arsenal’s 19–24 rate is £733.50, still more than the full adult price at eleven other clubs.

Senior pricing is less generous than most fans assume, and the age thresholds vary: 65 at Bournemouth, Brentford, Coventry, Everton and Liverpool, but 66 at Aston Villa, Brighton, Chelsea and Nottingham Forest. Arsenal have no general senior band at all — the only over-65 discount is inside the family area. Newcastle fold students and seniors into a single £364 rate, and are the only club in the league to publish a student price at all.

The other seven clubs leave you guessing. Five — Manchester City, Tottenham, Sunderland, Fulham and Leeds — publish no concession figures at all. Manchester United publish theirs only as a per-match rate (£12 for under-16s, £25.50 for 18–20s and over-66s) rather than a season total, and Bournemouth’s figures reached the public through a club graphic reproduced by the local paper rather than anything on their own site. At Sunderland and Fulham this is deliberate: both have moved to individualised pricing based on how long you have held your seat, so there is no single figure to publish. Sunderland quote juniors “from £5 a game” for long-standing holders and £6.84 for new buyers; Fulham say juniors start “just over £8 per game” and publish no season price for anyone.

Can you even buy one? Waiting lists and availability

The price is only half the question. For most of the league the honest answer to “can I buy a season ticket?” is no. When this page was compiled we could find an open public sale at exactly one club — Fulham, who confirmed general sale from 17 June with the Johnny Haynes Stand already gone, and by late July only the Putney End and the Riverside left. At the other 19, renewals had closed and whatever came back went to a waiting list, a ballot, or existing members only — including Bournemouth, whose ticket site offers no season ticket purchase at all while Vitality Stadium is redeveloped, only a register-your-interest form. Club ticketing portals change without notice, so check the club before you take our word for it.

What almost no one tells you is how long the wait is. No Premier League club publishes an estimate in years, and two put the refusal in writing. Arsenal: “we are unable to offer an estimation of progression to a Season Ticket as this is dependent on a variety of factors.” Nottingham Forest go further and decline to give a queue position at all — “no supporter will hold a defined position” — asking supporters not to contact them about it. Sunderland put it plainly: “there’s no fixed timescale.”

Where the “30-year wait” actually comes from

You will read constantly that Arsenal’s season ticket waiting list is a 30-year wait. We tried to source it and could not, because there is nothing underneath it. The earliest version we can find is a supporter’s blog post from June 2023 doing open arithmetic: roughly 95,000 people on the list, an assumed 3,000 seats turning over a year, so about 30 years — with the author twice calling it “my estimation.” Before that, the figure circulating was ten years, from a betting-affiliate content study that published no methodology at all.

From there it hardened without ever gaining a source. The Sun ran the claim at 25 years on 29 January 2026 and at 30 years, in the headline, the following day — same story, same £25,000 debenture price, same underlying facts, five years added overnight, neither version citing anyone. An Irish Times letter repeated 30 years in June 2026, sourced to another reader’s letter published three days earlier, which sourced nothing. The one time a club figure appears anywhere — City AM in 2023, reporting Arsenal as estimating five to ten years — it is an unnamed, unquoted paraphrase, and it is flatly contradicted by what Arsenal publish today.

So the honest answer to “how long is the Arsenal wait” is that nobody knows, Arsenal included, and Arsenal are the only party in the chain who say so out loud. What can be stood up: the list is reported to run past 100,000 people, seats come back only when a Gold Member declines to renew, and the club will tell you your number but never your date.

What clubs do publish is your position, and the numbers behind them are the real story. Newcastle say almost 50,000 people joined their list — against a first release of roughly 250 seats. Manchester United’s list is reported at around 120,000. Leeds’ is reported at 32,000, Ipswich confirm more than 6,000, and about 15,000 sat on the Sunderland list that has since been closed and reset. Everton won’t give an exact position at all, placing supporters in bands of 500 up to 10,000 and broader bands above that. Aston Villa allow one position enquiry a year and work through the list in tranches of about 500.

Joining is rarely free. Arsenal charge £50 for adults and £25 for juniors — redeemable against your first season ticket, though non-refundable if you leave the list — and general-admission seats come up when a Gold Member declines to renew. Coventry, Leeds, Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace each charge £10 to join, and Liverpool a one-off £5 admin fee, though Liverpool’s list is closed: “there are no plans to open the Season Ticket Waiting List at the moment.” Newcastle, Sunderland and Ipswich run lists that cost nothing to join but require a paid membership to enter and to stay on — let the membership lapse and you lose your place. Everton’s list is genuinely open to non-members, but membership buys priority: non-members sit in Tier Two, below every member.

Some clubs have effectively retired the conventional season ticket. Hull City sell a Membership instead of a season ticket, payable monthly by direct debit from £33 a month for a Zone 1 adult, rising to £41 and £50 in Zones 2 and 3. It is not a rolling subscription — the club set a 12-month minimum term. Memberships reached the 19,000 ceiling in July and closed, with a waiting list opening four days later. Forest sold new season cards by invitation only after a 97% renewal rate left roughly 70% of the ground already spoken for. Coventry and Sunderland both opened fresh lists in late July — already for 2027/28.

Paying monthly, and what happens if you can’t go

Almost every club lets you spread the cost, but “interest-free” is doing heavy lifting in some of the marketing. Aston Villa run an eight-month plan and state that the club covers all fees, interest and service charges. Newcastle offer twelve months interest-free by direct debit, Sunderland six instalments with “no additional payment charges”, and Crystal Palace ten with a choice of payment date. At the other end, Everton’s plan is provided by Premium Credit and carries a £69 facility fee per transaction, Coventry add a £10 processing fee per ticket, and Arsenal’s V12 plan is interest-free only in the sense that the arrangement fee replaces the interest — the club’s own figures put it at 15.11% APR over six months, or 12.47% over ten.

Missing a payment carries real consequences. Ipswich charge £20 for each failed direct debit and bar entry while a debt is active. Brentford charge £10 per failed payment and reserve the right to cancel the season ticket outright if it stays unpaid a month later. Newcastle withdraw direct-debit eligibility after three failures and call in the full balance within ten working days. Several of these plans are regulated credit agreements — Forest, Leeds, Coventry, Fulham and Arsenal all route through V12, a trading name of Secure Trust Bank, with a credit check that appears on your file.

If you can’t make a game

Most clubs run an official exchange, and what you get back varies more than the ticket price does. Liverpool return 100% of the per-game value and let you choose cash or account credit. Villa and Bournemouth pay a clean 1/19th with no fee — Bournemouth by bank transfer five days after the game. Arsenal charge season ticket holders nothing but take 10% from members. Crystal Palace deduct 10% and pay in credit you can withdraw from December. Brentford pay in credit redeemable only in December or at season’s end. Fulham pay a fixed sum per seat band rather than the sale price, as credit that is deleted entirely if you don’t renew. Newcastle cap you at ten resales a season before your account is flagged for review.

The catch nobody advertises is that listing your seat usually only works once the match has sold out, and an unsold listing pays nothing. Several clubs now also require you to use your seat — attend, forward or list it — for a minimum share of games: 16 of 19 at Manchester United and Manchester City, 14 of 19 at Aston Villa, 75% at Brighton, with the threat of losing your renewal if you fall short.

Why you can’t just sell your seat

Selling a football ticket in England and Wales without the organiser’s written authorisation is a criminal offence, not merely a breach of club rules. Section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 makes it an offence for an unauthorised person to sell, or otherwise dispose of, a ticket for a designated football match — and “sell” expressly includes offering to sell, exposing a ticket for sale, and advertising that one is available. That statute, not club preference, is why every club funnels resale through its own exchange.

Clubs enforce it hard, and several name third-party marketplaces explicitly. Nottingham Forest treat listing a season card on a third-party resale site as touting “regardless of the price involved, whether that be below face value, at face value, or above face value”, with sanctions up to a lifetime ban. Newcastle bar offering a season ticket for sale “via any website or online auction site” and void the ticket with no refund of the unexpired portion. Crystal Palace use near-identical wording and publish a closed whitelist of authorised resellers. Tottenham issued hundreds of indefinite bans in a single season and hold the original holder responsible for whoever ends up with the seat, including family. Manchester United can act on suspicion alone, “irrespective of whether or not the Ticket Holder is aware”.

The practical position for a season ticket holder: use your club’s own exchange. It is the only route that is both legal and sanction-free, even where the payout is worse than you’d like. Buying is a different question — a fan without a season ticket has no realistic route to a sold-out fixture except a club member’s sale, a ballot, or a resale marketplace.

Season ticket vs matchday: the other half of the picture

A season ticket is one answer to what football costs; the other is what a single match costs when you actually want to go. Most of the clubs on this page are sold out on season tickets — Palace and Coventry entirely — which pushes matchday demand to members' sales and the resale market. We track that side daily: the live Premier League ticket price report shows every club's cheapest buyable match ticket and median price, updated every day of the season, and each fixture page on Anyseats charts its own price history so you can time a purchase.
