Largest NFL Stadiums 2026: All 30 Ranked by Capacity

The largest NFL stadium is MetLife Stadium at 82,500 seats, shared by the New York Giants and New York Jets. AT&T Stadium lists 80,000 but expands beyond 100,000 with standing room, so it is the largest by peak capacity. At the other end, the Bills’ new Highmark Stadium opened in June 2026 as the league’s smallest at 60,108.

All 30 NFL stadiums ranked by capacity (2026)

Thirty-two franchises use 30 stadiums, because two venues are shared. Costs are as originally reported for the build, not inflation-adjusted.

New York State’s completion announcement described Highmark Stadium as a $2.1 billion project; later reporting puts the final figure nearer $2.2 billion after roughly $300 million of overruns.

Which stadiums are shared by two teams?

MetLife Stadium and SoFi Stadium, which is why the league’s 32 teams occupy only 30 buildings. MetLife has hosted the Giants and Jets since 2010 under a joint operating company, with neither club treated as the landlord. SoFi opened in 2020 for the Rams and Chargers, but the ownership is not symmetrical: Stan Kroenke’s StadCo LA built and owns the venue, and the Chargers are tenants.

That distinction matters when you follow the money rather than the seat count. Kroenke carried roughly $5 billion of construction risk to own the building outright, a scale of spending covered in the ranking of the richest NFL owners.

Which NFL stadiums expand for major events?

Five, and two of them expand dramatically. Listed capacity is the regular-season number; several venues add seats or standing room for Super Bowls, college finals, World Cup matches and concerts.

Stadium	Listed capacity	Expanded capacity	What it expands for
AT&T Stadium	80,000	Over 100,000 with standing room	Super Bowls, college playoff finals, concerts
SoFi Stadium	70,240	Over 100,240	Super Bowl LXI, 2028 Olympic opening ceremony
Mercedes-Benz Stadium	71,000	75,000	College and international finals
U.S. Bank Stadium	66,655	73,000	NCAA Final Four, one-off events
Lumen Field	69,000	72,000	Special events

The expanded numbers are the reason AT&T Stadium and SoFi outrank MetLife in practice. Neither has the most seats, but both can hold more people than any other NFL building. On peak capacity they would slot into the top 20 biggest stadiums in the US, above every college stadium outside the 100,000 club.

Which NFL stadium cost the most to build?

SoFi Stadium, at an estimated $5 billion to $6 billion including the wider Hollywood Park development. That is more than double the next most expensive.

Rank	Stadium	Cost	Opened
1	SoFi Stadium	$5bn–$6bn est.	2020
2	Highmark Stadium	$2.2bn	2026
3	Allegiant Stadium	$1.9bn	2020
4	MetLife Stadium	$1.6bn	2010
5	Mercedes-Benz Stadium	$1.6bn	2017

Cost per seat is the more revealing measure. SoFi comes out around $71,000 per seat and Highmark around $37,000, against $19,000 for MetLife. Lambeau Field, built in 1957 for $960,000, cost about $12 a seat in the money of the day.

Which stadiums have no naming-rights deal?

Three: Lambeau Field, Soldier Field and Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs sold naming rights to the playing surface to GEHA from 2021 while keeping the Arrowhead name on the stadium itself, then let the building revert to plain Arrowhead Stadium. Every other venue carries a corporate name.

The verified deal values cluster at the top. SoFi’s is the largest in NFL history at a reported $625 million over 20 years, more than $30 million a year. MetLife signed for $400 million over 25 years in August 2011, roughly $16 million a year. Allegiant is reported at $20 million to $25 million annually. Houston’s venue is the odd one out: NRG Energy switched the building back to its original Reliant Stadium branding in August 2026 for the Texans’ 25th season, keeping the rights inside the same company. During the 2026 World Cup it was temporarily called Houston Stadium under FIFA’s sponsorship rules.

Only two NFL venues reach the world’s top tier by size, which the ranking of the largest stadiums in the world puts in context: the biggest stadium on earth holds 132,000. More venue tables live on the stadiums hub.
