Subway Menu Prices 2026: Everything You Need to Know Before You Order

You’re standing in line – or hovering over the app – and you want to know how much your lunch is actually going to cost before you commit. That’s a reasonable thing to want. Subway’s menu has changed a lot over the past few years, prices vary by location, and the deals aren’t always obvious unless you know where to look.

This guide breaks it all down clearly – what everything costs, what’s worth ordering, and how to spend less without eating less.

How Subway Pricing Works

Before getting into the numbers, one thing is worth saying upfront: Subway stores set pricing locally, and promo pricing often requires ordering via the Subway app or Subway.com with a code or account. That means the prices below are realistic ranges for most US locations in 2026 – your local store may be a little higher or lower depending on where you are.

Subway is known for offering a wide variety of sandwiches, wraps, salads, bowls, and sides that can be customized according to taste and budget. The menu is organized into clear categories – classic subs, Subway Series signature builds, protein bowls, wraps, salads, breakfast, sides, and drinks. Here’s what each one looks like price-wise.

Classic Sandwiches – 6-Inch and Footlong Prices

This is the core of what Subway does. Deli Classics include Oven-Roasted Turkey, Black Forest Ham, Roast Beef, Tuna, and Cold Cut Combo. Most 6-inch options stay under $8, making them reliable everyday choices.

Popular 6-inch prices for classics currently sit around these ranges: Oven-Roasted Turkey at around $6.29, Tuna at around $6.29, and the Ultimate B.M.T. at around $8.49.

For footlongs, most footlongs are priced around $8 to $12 depending on the protein and location. If you’re feeding yourself generously or splitting with someone, a footlong is almost always better value per inch than a 6-inch.

Italian favorites like B.M.T., Spicy Italian, and 5 Meat Italian range from about $6.59 to $15.49 depending on size and meat combination, and are among the most ordered subs on the menu.

The budget-friendly picks stay at the lower end – Veggie Delite, Black Forest Ham, and Meatball Marinara all tend to come in cheaper than chicken or steak builds.

Subway Series – Signature Builds

Subway has leaned heavily into its Subway Series – pre-designed signature builds with set ingredient combos like The Philly and The Outlaw so customers don’t have to customize from scratch. This is why many newer Philly variations and bold-flavor builds price higher than classic turkey or ham subs.

The Philly typically runs around $7.29 for a 6-inch and the Subway Club around $7.79. These are built-out subs with specific ingredient combinations, so you’re getting a more considered flavor profile rather than building from scratch – which some people love and others find limiting.

If you want maximum meat for your money, the Subway Series builds tend to deliver. If you want total control over what goes in, you’re better off building a classic from the base menu.

Protein Bowls – For the No-Bread Crowd

Protein bowls are priced from $10.39 to $15.49 depending on selection. Options like Steak Philly, Chicken & Bacon Ranch, Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki, B.M.T., and Tuna deliver full sandwich flavor in a fork-ready format.

These are all the fillings of a footlong with none of the bread – great if you’re eating low-carb, watching calories from the bread, or just prefer a bowl format for lunch. The calorie range is wide depending on what you build, so it’s worth checking the Subway nutrition menu directly if that matters to you.

Wraps

Popular wrap choices include Baja Chicken, Peppercorn Ranch Chicken, Italian Trio, and Turkey & Ham. Calorie counts generally range between 320 and 490, making it a lighter alternative to full 6-inch subs. Wraps typically start around $12-$14 depending on location and protein, putting them in a similar bracket to mid-tier footlongs.

Breakfast Menu

Subway serves breakfast at select locations – not every store carries it, so it’s worth checking your local spot first. Breakfast options include the Bacon, Egg & Cheese for around $9.49 and the Steak, Egg & Cheese for around $11.49. These are warm, pressed flatbread builds – filling and faster than you’d expect for the price if your nearest location carries them.

Sides, Snacks, and Extras

Sidekick snacks like the Auntie Anne’s Footlong Pretzel, Cinnabon Footlong Churro, and the various Dippers (Chicken & Cheese, Double Cheese, Pepperoni & Cheese) all sit at around $3. These are Subway’s version of a snack upgrade – worth adding if you want something a little different alongside your sub without spending much.

Chips from brands like Doritos, Lays, and SunChips run about $2.50. Cookies are similarly priced individually, while the Footlong Cookie – which is exactly what it sounds like – runs about $6.19 and is genuinely worth splitting.

The Deals Worth Knowing About

This is where Subway actually gets interesting for budget-conscious eaters. The deals are real, but you have to know they exist.

Meal of the Day – The $4.99 Sub of the Day rotates daily, offering a featured 6-inch sandwich from Sunday through Saturday. The $6.99 Meal of the Day pairs the daily featured 6-inch sandwich with a drink and side. This is the most consistent value on the menu and the first thing to check when you open the app.

Footlong Promos – Subway repeatedly ran a $6.99 Any Footlong deal in 2024-2025, usually requiring the promo code 699FL when ordering through the Subway app or Subway.com. Whether this particular deal runs in 2026 depends on timing, but Subway regularly rotates promos like this. Checking the app before you order is always worth the 30 seconds.

BOGO Deals – When you buy one footlong sub, you can sometimes get the second at 50% off using the coupon code BOGO50 through the app or website, available for MVP Rewards members.

Loyalty Points – Every order through the app earns points that stack toward free food. If you eat at Subway even occasionally, it makes zero sense not to be using the app. The deals are only visible and accessible there.

How to Actually Save Money at Subway

A few practical things that make a real difference:

One footlong is almost always better value than two 6-inches, and it’s genuinely enough food for most people. If you’re ordering for two, splitting one footlong each way cuts the cost significantly compared to two individual meals.

The Veggie Delite is the cheapest and lowest-calorie option. Turkey Breast is best for low-calorie, high-protein balance. Steak, Rotisserie Chicken, and Grilled Chicken provide the best value in terms of keeping you full.

Loading up on free toppings – and Subway gives you a lot of them – is one of the easiest ways to make a cheaper sub feel more substantial. Peppers, pickles, lettuce, onions, spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers – none of these cost extra and they make a big difference to the overall meal.

The Eat & Drink section covers plenty more on making fast food work for you without blowing your budget, and if you’re into building your own food at home, the Cooking section has you covered there too.

A Quick Note on Prices Varying by Location

It bears repeating because it genuinely matters: Subway Menu Prices vary from item to item and size to size, even country to country. A footlong in New York City costs noticeably more than the same footlong in a suburb of Kansas City. The ranges in this guide reflect what most US customers experience, but your local store is the only true source of truth. The Subway app shows your store’s exact current prices before you confirm any order – always check there for the final number.

Subway’s official menu page also lists nutritional information and lets you build your meal digitally to see the price before committing. If you care about calories alongside price, it’s the most useful starting point.
