The 2026 NFL schedule is finally here, and while the countdown to kickoff is officially on, not every game will break the bank. For fans looking to catch live action without emptying their wallets, some matchups stand out as surprisingly affordable—especially those involving teams that struggled last season.

According to ticket data from Gametime, the New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns dominate the list of cheapest games. The Saints, who missed the playoffs in 2025, offer some of the lowest median prices for home games against the Browns, Carolina Panthers, and Arizona Cardinals. Meanwhile, the Tennessee Titans—another team on the outside looking in last postseason—host the Browns and Houston Texans in October for some of the lowest "get-in" prices available.

Here’s a look at the top 10 cheapest matchups for the 2026 season, based on current ticket listings:

Jets at Chargers (Nov 22) — Get-In: $29 | Median: $186
Browns at Titans (Oct 25) — Get-In: $29 | Median: $173
Texans at Titans (Oct 11) — Get-In: $34 | Median: $175
Falcons at Browns (Dec 13) — Get-In: $36 | Median: $104
Cardinals at Saints (Dec 27) — Get-In: $37 | Median: $89
Panthers at Saints (Nov 15) — Get-In: $46 | Median: $81
Browns at Saints (Nov 8) — Get-In: $46 | Median: $85
Texans at Browns (Nov 15) — Get-In: $53 | Median: $100
Saints at Panthers (Dec 13) — Get-In: $58 | Median: $100

With four months until the season begins, these prices could shift—but for now, bargain hunters have plenty of options. Whether you're a die-hard fan of a rebuilding squad or just looking for a budget-friendly way to enjoy NFL Sundays, these games offer a great chance to see rising stars and hard-fought matchups without the premium price tag.
