The New England Patriots will increase ticket prices for their home games this year. According to a report by Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald, the average increase will be “a little more than 7%.”

The price hike comes after the Patriots’ most successful season since the late 2010s. Led by new head coach Mike Vrabel and second-year quarterback Drake Maye, they finished the regular season with a 14-3 record and their first division title in six years. The team went on to win three playoff games before a loss to the Seahawks in Super Bowl LX.

In the aftermath of that game, Gillette Stadium ticket prices will now go up for the second time in four years. Most of the roughly 65,000 seats will see a spike of under 10%, with under 15% of tickets going higher than that number. Those tickets can be found in the first seven rows as well as the midfield sections of the 300 level.

The lowest ticket prices, meanwhile, will continue to average $89.

On average, the Patriots are ranked eighth in the NFL in ticket prices. However, they are the only team to offer free parking as well as incentives to park in delayed-release lots on game day, a measure to counter traffic on Route 1 in and out of their Foxborough arena.

In 2026, the Patriots are set to play a minimum of 10 games at Gillette Stadium. Their two preseason contests will be followed by eight home games during the regular season, including a rematch of the AFC Championship against the Broncos.

The full schedule for the upcoming season is expected to be released in May.
