The 2026 NFL regular-season schedule is here, and if you're planning to catch a game live, get ready to open your wallet wide. According to data from Gametime, the Buffalo Bills and Green Bay Packers are dominating the list of the most expensive tickets this season, with three of the top five priciest matchups featuring these powerhouse teams.
Leading the charge is the Bills hosting the Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football at Highmark Stadium on September 17, with a get-in price of $604. That's the lowest cost you'll pay for a seat, and with a median price of $1,230 and an average of $1,932, it's clear fans are eager to see two of the NFL's elite teams clash under the lights. It's no surprise—the Bills have a passionate fanbase and are perennial contenders, while the Lions are riding high as a rising force.
Coming in second is a classic NFC North showdown: the Chicago Bears visiting the Packers at Lambeau Field on October 11, with a get-in price of $531. With only 282 listings available, this game is a hot ticket, reflecting the fierce rivalry and the Packers' legendary home-field advantage. Green Bay also snags the third and fourth spots on the list. Their Sunday Night Football matchup against the Bills on December 13 has a get-in price of $432, while the Dallas Cowboys' visit on October 18 is close behind at $425. Both games showcase the Packers' ability to draw massive crowds, whether it's for a cross-conference battle or a storied NFC rivalry.
The fifth most expensive game is the Kansas City Chiefs visiting the Bills on Thursday Night Football on November 26, with a get-in price of $425. This matchup features two quarterback superstars and perennial playoff teams, making it a must-see for fans. With 613 listings available, it's one of the most accessible options on the list, though the median price of $1,025 shows demand remains sky-high.
For Bills fans, two of these expensive games are at home, but one road game—the trip to Green Bay—makes the list, too. While some might credit Bills Mafia's travel enthusiasm, it's more likely due to Packers fans going all out for a prime-time showdown. This list highlights the NFL's biggest draws: elite teams, historic rivalries, and the electric atmospheres that make game day unforgettable. Whether you're decked out in Bills gear or Packers green, these are the games to circle on your calendar—if you can snag a ticket.
