Cubs likely to fall short of 3 million tickets sold this season
Summary

As the 2026 season approaches its conclusion, the Chicago Cubs are on track to sell approximately 2,828,000 tickets, missing the three million milestone. With only four home games left, they would need paid attendance of over 43,000 in each to reach that figure. Weather has been cited as a factor, impacting both attendance and overall crowd sizes compared to last year's figures. The team performed well in 2025, selling over three million tickets, bolstered by games in Tokyo, but 2026 has seen lower average attendance figures. The Cubs hope to host a Wild Card series as their season nears its end.
