The average price for a hot dog at Major League Baseball games stood at 5.49 U.S. dollars in 2026. Meanwhile, fans at the ball game paid an average of 8.14 U.S. dollars for a beer. 

Baseball concessions

Hot dogs, soft drink and beer are food and beverage staples at Major League Baseball games. Along with these traditional items, concession stands at MLB games may offer local signature dishes as well. For example, spectators may find lobster rolls and clam chowder at Fenway Park, Boston Red Sox’s ballpark. In 2026, a soft drink at a concession stand in a MLB stadium cost an average of 5.70 U.S. dollars.

Prices vary by stadium

In order to sell these products, concession stands need to pay for the arena fee, the product itself, employees as well as the team’s take, which varies between 40 to 50 percent of sales. This is one of the reasons concession stand prices vary greatly within the MLB. A fan at a New York Mets game has to pay over three times the price for a beer than a fan attending a Colorado Rockies game. The Athletics had the most expensive beers in the league in 2026. Meanwhile, hot dog prices varied from just three U.S. dollars to almost nine U.S. dollars, depending on the ballpark. Soft drink prices also varied significantly - while St. Louis Cardinals spectators would pay 12 U.S. dollars for a soft drink in 2026, Detroit Tigers fans paid just three U.S. dollars for a soda.
