In this article, we compare the season ticket and match ticket prices of the Big 6 in the Premier League for 2026/27. Three clubs have frozen prices for the new season. Three haven't.

Who are the Big 6 in the Premier League?
The "Big 6" refers to the six Premier League clubs with the largest global fanbases, revenues, and historical trophy counts — and, not coincidentally, the six clubs whose tickets are hardest and most expensive to get hold of:
Here's what each of them is charging for 2026/27, what changed from last season, and where the real cost sits once you look past the headline "from" price.
Three Premier League clubs have frozen season ticket prices for 2026/27. Three haven't. Among the Big 6, the gap between the cheapest and most expensive entry point is now over £700 a season — and that's before you touch a single European fixture.

Season Tickets
1. Arsenal: £1,171–£2,196
Arsenal's general admission and club-level season tickets rise 3.9% for 2026/27. The cheapest 23-match adult season ticket (which includes Champions League/Europa group-stage fixtures) is £1,171; the most expensive is £2,196. Two new pricing tiers: B+ and A+ have been added on top of the existing A/B/C structure.
Single match tickets against lower-table sides start around £35–£55; fixtures against Manchester City, Manchester United or Liverpool regularly clear £90.
2. Chelsea: £700–£1,095
Chelsea froze all men's first-team general admission season and match-by-match ticket prices for 2026/27. Adult non-concession season tickets sit between £700 and £1,095; the priciest match-by-match "Category AA" tickets stay at £27–£28 for members, with general sale roughly £5 higher.
Getting a Chelsea season ticket in the first place is the bigger obstacle — the club runs a loyalty-points system built on match attendance rather than an open waiting list, so allocation, not price, is the real barrier to entry here.
3. Liverpool: £734.50
Liverpool has moved to a multi-year pricing model: season and matchday ticket prices will rise in line with CPI inflation (capped at 5%) for three consecutive seasons starting 2026/27. This year's increase is £21.50–£27 on season tickets, taking the cheapest adult season ticket to £734.50. Matchday tickets range £31–£62.75, junior/local tickets stay frozen at £9 for an 11th straight season, and a new 17–24 "young adult" ticket has been introduced in the Anfield Road lower tier at £25.75.
4. Manchester City: £425
Manchester City has held season ticket and matchday prices flat for a third consecutive season, making it the cheapest Big 6 season ticket by some distance. Adult matchday tickets range roughly £30–£60 depending on category; juniors £15–£30. For 2026/27, City is also releasing over 4,000 new Flexi Season Tickets tied to the Etihad's expanded capacity, with half ring-fenced for junior members.
5. Manchester United: £646
Manchester United's cheapest adult season ticket rises 6.25% (+£38) to £646 for 2026/27; the largest percentage increase of any Big 6 club and second-highest in the entire Premier League behind Sunderland. It follows last season's move to raise matchday tickets to £66 with no concessions for juniors or pensioners, which drew direct criticism from supporter group MUST.
6. Tottenham Hotspur: £856
Tottenham has frozen its cheapest adult season ticket at £856 for 2026/27 - one of only three Premier League clubs (alongside Man City and Nottingham Forest) to hold prices flat this year, despite already sitting second only to Arsenal on price within the Big 6.
