SEASON TICKETS
University of Houston Football season tickets are on sale for the 2026 season. For as low as $150, fans can get in on the excitement of Year 3 of the Head Coach Willie Fritz era with pivotal matchups against Oregon State, Southern, UCF, Oklahoma State, Cincinnati and Baylor as the Cougars look to improve on their 10-win season in 2025.

FLEX PLAN
New this season, Houston's Flex Plans allow supporters to purchase tickets to any three home games with additional flexibility as the package purchaser can select a different part of the stadium for each game if they choose. Fans can sit in the same general area each game, or move around the stadium for different views, interactions and fun.
Tickets vary in price depending on which portion of the stadium you sit in – however there is a discount per ticket ranging from $30-$5 – thus, every Flex Plan is unique to each fan with purchasers picking between Mid-Level Chairbacks, North Chairbacks, North Prime Chairbacks, and Sideline Bleacher back seats. Fans must purchase the same number of tickets for each game.
To purchase a 3-Game Flex Plan, click here. Exact seat row and number will vary based on availability.
