Charlotte FC launches $26 tickets for every 2026 home match

What to expect: A few hundred $26 tickets will be available for every home match. Tickets go live today, Feb. 26, at 9am.

Yes, but: This will replace the $15 box office tickets that were available two weeks before each home match.

• The team still offers tickets for college students starting at $15 and free tickets for active service members and veterans.

Between the lines: The team does not plan to open the upper bowl this season. In previous seasons, upper bowl tickets were sold at a more affordable price point.

• Introducing this new ticket price allows them to replicate the upper bowl price point while keeping it in the lower bowl.

Zoom in: Soccer will have a moment as the eyes of the world turn toward North America for this summer's FIFA World Cup.

• Charlotte FC hopes to capitalize on the World Cup hype. This lower price point is a reflection of that, Eric Sudol, Tepper Sports & Entertainment's chief revenue officer, tells Axios. TSE owns Charlotte FC.

What's next: Charlotte FC's home opener is Saturday, March 7, at 7:30pm vs. Austin FC at Bank of America Stadium.
