A recent study analyzing the cost for a family of four to attend an NBA game this season has found the Minnesota Timberwolves to be among the most expensive in the league.

The Action Network studied a total of 300,346 tickets across all 30 NBA teams for the upcoming 2026-27 season, using primarily Ticketmaster as a source.

For four tickets, two beers, two soft drinks, four hot dogs and parking for a Timberwolves game this upcoming season, the average family of four will spend about $1,616.56- the second-highest total in the entire National Basketball Association. The New York Knicks are the most expensive at $1,930.55 at Madison Square Garden.

That figure represents 19.81% of the Twin Cities metro area's monthly median household income, which is the third-highest percentage in the league.
