Credit card rewards provide a way to reduce the high cost of Super Bowl 2026 tickets. Even without enough rewards for tickets directly, these cards can grant pre-sale and exclusive access to various experiences. Points and perks can also help pay for flights, hotel stays, and sports streaming services.
Several credit cards are highlighted for obtaining Super Bowl tickets. The Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant American Express Card helps earn Marriott Bonvoy points for bidding on Marriott Bonvoy Moments experiences. The American Express Platinum Card offers exclusive access to popular events. The NFL Extra Points Visa Credit Card allows points redemption for NFL games and experiences. The Chase Freedom Unlimited provides presale ticket access and flat cash-back redemptions. The Capital One Savor Cash Rewards Credit Card also offers presale access and cash back on entertainment purchases.
Marriott Bonvoy Moments is a platform where members use points for experiences in sports, entertainment, arts & lifestyle, and culinary categories. Bidding points for NFL game tickets, including the Super Bowl, is common. Points can be earned with the Marriott Bonvoy Bevy American Express Card, Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant American Express Card, and Marriott Bonvoy Business American Express Card. Points can be transferred from the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card, Chase Sapphire Reserve, American Express Platinum Card, and American Express Gold Card, though this may not be the most efficient use of Amex or Chase rewards.
The NFL Extra Points Visa Credit Card uniquely allows points redemption for NFL experiences, tickets, and merchandise, including the Super Bowl. While its overall rewards are considered lackluster compared to other cards, it is one of the few enabling direct redemption for NFL tickets.
Cash-back and travel rewards can cover NFL ticket costs and associated trip expenses. With cards like the Chase Freedom Unlimited or Capital One Savor, cash-back rewards can be redeemed as statement credits to offset purchases, including tickets. Travel credit cards help earn points or miles for flights and hotel stays, useful for attending games away from home.
Credit card issuers offer presale ticket access through various platforms. Amex Platinum cardholders can use The Premium Events Collection for curated experiences. Other platforms include Amex Experiences for American Express cardholders, Chase Experiences for Chase cardholders, Citi Entertainment for Citi cardholders, and Capital One Entertainment for Capital One cardholders.
For streaming NFL games at home, credit cards can help save on services. Popular streaming options include Amazon Prime Video and NFL+ for Thursday Night Football; FOX, Paramount+, NFL+, YouTube, and YouTube TV for Sunday Daytime Games; Peacock, NFL+, Telemundo, and Universo for Sunday Night Football; and ESPN, NFL+, and ESPN Deportes for Monday Night Football. Cards like the Blue Cash Everyday from American Express and Blue Cash Preferred from American Express can cover Hulu Live TV costs. The Capital One Savor Cash Rewards Credit Card and Chase Sapphire Preferred Card offer extra rewards on streaming subscriptions. The American Express Platinum Card can help pay for Peacock, Hulu, Paramount+, or YouTube TV subscriptions.
