WASHINGTON, D.C.  – Game tickets and tailgate lot passes are now available for purchase for the 2026 Catholic football season. The Cardinals will play at Cardinal Stadium five times this season with the home opener coming on September 12 against Carnegie Mellon. 

All tickets and tailgate passes are available for purchase via HomeTown Ticketing (also located under the Gameday Tab on catholicathletics.com). Ticket prices are $12 for adults, $8 for seniors/military and $6 for kids while tailgate passes are sold for $60 (not including fees). Season tailgate passes can also be purchased for $275 (plus fees) to have access to the same tailgate spot for all five games as well as four tickets included to every game. 

A purchased tailgate pass will secure a space for one individual vehicle with up to four people inside. Game tickets will be included for these four people in the bundle. Wristbands will be given to the occupants inside the vehicle, allowing them re-entry from the tailgate lot with the appropriate colored wristband. If your vehicle has more than four occupants, the additional occupants will not be given a wristband, and will be required to purchase a General Admission Ticket for entry into the stadium. When purchasing tickets, red spots will be permitted to have a 10x10 tent. Black spots will NOT be permitted to have a tent. 

The tailgate lot will open 2.5 hours before the scheduled game time and stadium gates will open one hour before. Entry to the stadium will be permitted at the gate next to the Dowd Family Tennis Courts by wristband only. Re-entry to the stadium will be permitted at the gate next to the Dowd Family Tennis Courts and/or the DuFour Center Lobby for fans wearing the proper wristband.
