Methodology 1. Casinos.com sought to find out the cheapest Premier League matchday in the 2025/26 season. 2. To do so, they utilised three index points – Ticket price, Pint price, and food price and combined them to generate a ‘matchday score’. 3. Firstly, to calculate average ticket prices for each club, the lowest cost tickets, and highest cost tickets of each team's home matches were analysed via Ticket-Compare.com.

4. To find the average price of a pint of beer at each Premier League stadium, Casinos.com trawled through forums, social media posts, Official club sites and GiveMeSport’s Pint price guide to generate an average cost per pint. 5. To generate a price point for a meal in each stadium – Official club sites, forums, and local reports were analysed, where a base median price was established for a generic food item and soft drink. 6. Finally, these costs were totalled, and the clubs were ranked most to least expensive. 7. Data collected 11/09/2025 and is accurate as of then. 8.
