The 2026 Game-Day Report

Key findings

• The cheapest standard beer we could confirm is $5.00 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta); the priciest is $17.00 at Chase Center (San Francisco), 3.4 times as much.
• Across the 38 venues with a confirmed price, a standard beer averages $11.86, or $0.76 an ounce where the size is known. Only 5 venues' prices are confirmed for this exact season; many teams don't publish menus with prices.
• 60 of 111 venues are KultureCity sensory-inclusive certified or partnered, and 71 list a sensory room or quiet space.
• 43 of 111 venues require clear bags, and only 9 allow any kind of re-entry.
• Local sports TV was upended: FanDuel Sports Network shut down, CBC lost Hockey Night in Canada, and streaming services now hold exclusive weekly windows in Canada.

Stadium beer prices

The standard price is the normal walk-up price of the cheapest regular-size domestic beer at ordinary stands, all game. Value menus at a few stands, happy hours, pregame specials and souvenir cups don't count. Prices in USD; Canadian venues (†) converted at 0.73. Sizes differ, so the per-ounce ranking compares them fairly.

By league

League averages use only verified and recent prices, so leagues with few confirmed prices (the NFL especially) rest on small samples. A venue shared by teams in two leagues counts in both.

Rogers Arena C$10.00 (12 oz) · Bell Centre C$12.75 · Rogers Centre C$12.99 (16 oz) · Canadian Tire Centre C$14.08 · Scotiabank Saddledome C$14.25 (18 oz) · Rogers Place C$16.50 (16 oz).

Accessibility and bag rules

From each venue's official guest guide, checked 2026-10, for 111 major-league venues.

At 30 venues, the venue's own pages disagreed with each other (for example, two different bag sizes). Our venue pages show the stricter rule and flag it. Every venue page has an accessibility section with the right phone number, and a “Can I bring it?” section with bag, food, water and re-entry rules.

The 2026-27 TV shake-up

• FanDuel Sports Network (Main Street Sports) shut down in 2026, ending local TV deals for about 20 NBA and NHL teams (several MLB teams had already left). Teams moved to free over-the-air stations, DAZN, MLB Local Media and team-owned networks. (NewscastStudio, Apr 6, 2026)
• CBC's Hockey Night in Canada sublicence ended after 2025-26. Saturday NHL games in Canada are now Sportsnet's “Saturday Night Hockey”. (CBC Sports)
• Prime Video has 27 exclusive Wednesday NHL games in Canada in 2026-27, in English and French. (NHL.com)
• Monday Night Hockey in Canada is a Sportsnet+ streaming exclusive in 2026-27, not on regular TV. (Channel Canada (Sportsnet release), Sept 2026)

Our schedules now show the channel for every game in the US and Canada across the NHL, NBA, NFL, MLB, MLS, CFL, PWHL and college football.

Method, sources and reuse

Prices were researched in October 2026 from official team menus and venue pages, news reports, venue reviews and a 2024-25 survey of NBA arena prices, then checked source by source by a second reviewer. Each price is labelled Verified (official or observed this season), Recent (observed within two seasons) or Estimate; where sources conflict we don't publish a price. Prices vary by stand and size and may change.
