Vanderbilt announces it has sold out of season tickets for 2026

Vanderbilt’s historic 2025 season could be tough to repeat without Diego Pavia at the helm. But if you’re looking for a season ticket for Commodores games in 2026, you’re out of luck: the team has sold out, it announced on Tuesday.
With Pavia behind center, Vandy put together a memorable campaign. It finished with 10 wins, its highest total in program history. The Commodores’ No. 15 ranking in the postseason coaches’ and media polls was their highest since ending the 1948 season at No. 12 in the AP poll, while they finished No. 14 in the College Football Playoff rankings. Pavia, after throwing for over 3,500 yards and 29 touchdowns — while running for 862 yards and 10 TDs — became the program’s first-ever Heisman Trophy finalist, finishing behind Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza.
But without the dynamic (and outspoken) Pavia, it’ll be difficult for Clark Lea‘s team to match what it did in 2025. The SEC media certainly doesn’t think it will, picking the Commodores to finish 13th in the conference. (For what it’s worth, that’s where they were picked in 2025 before a seventh-place finish.) Much of what Vandy does will stem from how Lea names QB1: true freshman Jared Curtis, one of the country’s most heralded recruits, or Blaze Berlowitz, Pavia’s backup at both New Mexico State and Vanderbilt.
Either way, Vandy football will be a hot ticket in 2026.
