Event Experience Upgrades in 2026

Better venues. New cities. Premium seating. Here’s everything that’s changing this season and what you get with every ticket.

Grid League is back for its biggest season yet. We heard you after last year: more space, more entertainment, better seating, and more cities. Here’s everything we’ve upgraded for 2026 and a full breakdown of what each ticket tier gets you.

Better Venues

Every event this season features upgraded venue space. That means more seating capacity, dedicated concession areas, and vendor villages at all events so you can grab food, drinks, and gear without missing the action. 

More Fun Between Matches

Sitting around between matches? Not this year. We’ve partnered with other sports and activity providers so there’s always something to do between matchups. Expect to play pickleball, corn hole, and even try your hand with a trampoline league: all on-site between Grid League matches. Think of it as a full day out, not just a few hours of competition.

Four Cities. One Season.

The 2026 regular season spans four events across three states — including our first-ever event in the Northeast.

New York takes place at the American Dream Mall just outside of New York City our first Northeast event and the biggest on the calendar with two full days and six matches. Dallas closes out the regular season before the Championship.

Premium Seating at Every Event

For 2026, we’re carrying designated Grid Side and VIP seating at every single event. Grid Side seats put you right next to the action. Close enough to hear the athletes communicate and feel the energy of every race. VIP takes it even further with first-pick seating, a dedicated entrance, a personal host, a drink, lounge access (where available), and a pro photo shoot on the Grid with the athletes.

Grid Side and VIP seats are limited to a maximum of 60 per match.

Between-Race Entertainment

We’re keeping the energy up all day, not just during races. Between matches, we’ll be running live games, raffles, contests, and demonstrations. Whether you’re competing in a crowd challenge or watching an athlete demo, there’s never a dull moment.

What You Get: Ticket Breakdown

Every tier is designed so the next level up feels like an obvious upgrade. Here’s exactly what’s included at each price point.

Single-Event Tickets

Standard gets you through the door for every match at the event — it’s the most accessible way to experience Grid League live. Grid Side puts you in a reserved seat right next to the Grid for one match of your choice, plus early entry so you can settle in before the crowd. VIP is the full premium experience — Grid Side seating for every match, your own entrance, a dedicated host, a drink, lounge access, and a professional photo on the Grid with the athletes after the event.

Season Passes — All Regular Season Events

The Season Pass is the best value in Grid League. For as low as $79, you get entry to every event and match across the entire regular season, early entry at non-expo events, expo admission at Miami and Dallas, a lanyard and badge, your name on the Season Holders board in the livestream, and 48-hour early access to Championship tickets at a discount. Compare that to buying Standard single-event tickets individually — four events at with full expo price included is $145, and you wouldn’t get any of the season holder perks.

The VIP Season Pass at $449 is the top-tier Grid League experience. Only 10 are available across the entire season. You get everything in the Standard Season Pass plus Grid Side seating at every event, first-pick seat selection, a dedicated VIP entrance and host, a drink at every event, lounge access, a Bring-a-Friend GA pass for one event, a pro photo on the Grid, and exclusive VIP merch — a Season Holder tee or tank, an embroidered VIP cap, and a premium polo or performance tee. This is the closest thing to being part of the league without competing on the Grid.

Note: The Championship event is not included in season passes. Season pass holders receive 48-hour early access to Championship tickets at a 20% discount before public sale. Each venue is different and we don’t have control over all of them. Once reserved we will contact you to guide you on everything you need to know about taking advantage of all your benefits at each venue. 

The Grid League Viewing Experience

That’s the experience we’re building on in 2026. Better venues, more entertainment, premium seating options, and four cities to choose from. Whether you grab a Standard ticket for one event or lock in a VIP Season Pass for the full ride, this is the year to be there in person.
