Derby County is pleased to announce that the first phase of 2026/27 Season Tickets will go on sale at 10am on Monday 16th February 2026.
Season Tickets will again be valid for all Men’s First Team home league matches at Pride Park Stadium, and supporters renewing or buying a season ticket during Phase 1 of the sales period will guarantee their current or preferred seat location at the lowest possible price.
The club conducted appropriate due diligence, reviewed a multitude of options, and took into consideration the current economic climate before determining prices. For only the second time in five seasons, and following a price freeze last season, this has resulted in a price increase for all age groups.
Derby County CEO, Stephen Pearce, said: “Our average season ticket price is currently one of the lowest in the Sky Bet Championship, and even with a price increase for next season we believe it continues to offer fair, competitive, and affordable pricing.
“Whilst it is vitally important to the success of the club that we maintain our incredibly dedicated fanbase, we do need to generate additional revenue from multiple sources to continue investing in the playing staff, academy, and training ground and stadium facilities.
“Consequently, and after much deliberation, we’ve decided on a price increase which carefully balances the club’s needs with the cost of living and reflects our commitment to rewarding Season Ticket holders.”
The price grid below is for Phase 1 of the sales period and the longevity discount, which has now been in place for several seasons and is dependent upon the number of continuous seasons a supporter has been a Season Ticket holder, offers a substantial saving of up to 35% when compared to purchasing tickets on a match-by-match basis.
Current Season Ticket holders will receive their individual price based on age*, seat location, and longevity discount. Those who hold an online account on www.dcfc.co.uk will be contacted via email with their personalised price and link, with all other Season Ticket holders contacted by post. The club encourages fans to create an online account where possible, to provide timely communications.
Phase 1 of the sales period will close at 4pm on Thursday 30th April 2026. Details for Phase 2 of the sales period will be communicated in due course, but supporters are advised this second phase will only offer a reduced flat rate of saving, and longevity discounts will not be applicable.
Should any Season Ticket holders wish to relocate to a different seat as a result of the price increases, the Ticket Office team will provide the required support to help find a price-point to suit their requirements. The V-12 Finance Plan option, which has been in place since the 2023/24 season, will again be available to allow supporters flexible payment options.
*Please note, our Senior age band has been updated for the 2026/27 Season from age 65+ to age 66+, in line with the UK Government’s State Pension age.
Season Ticket Holders aged 85+ who have held a Season Ticket for five consecutive seasons will continue to receive a complimentary ‘Golden Rams’ Season Ticket from the club.
