**National Football League franchise the Carolina Panthers has announced an increase in season
ticket prices for the 2026 campaign.**
The rise means Panthers season tickets will be rise in cost for the fourth consecutive year.
It follows the team qualifying for the end-of-season play-offs for the first time in eight years
during the 2025 campaign.
Fans were informed of the news in an email on 10 March, with season ticket prices to rise by
an average of 12%, according to Sports Business Journal.
This, a team spokesperson said, is a “blended average”, with some seat prices to increase more or less than this figure.
However, in some cases, the Panthers said fans would not experience increases that high.
Cheaper tickets in the upper bowl will rise from $510 (£380/€440) to $590, equating to approximately $8 per game, the Panthers said.
For the 2025 season, season ticket prices were up by an average of 6%, following a 4% rise
for 2024.
The further increase, the team said, was in line with the rest of the league, with 75% of other NFL clubs set to raise prices for next season.
That said, the team maintained that its non-premium tickets would remain among some of the most affordable across the whole NFL.
In 2025, it ranked 26th in non-premium ticket prices, with a projected placing for 23rd for 2026.
The increase comes as work begins on a major makeover of the Panthers’ Bank of America
Stadium home.
Improvements will be made across the venue, with the team expected to spend approximately $800 million on the project.
