Roughly 99% of American Subway restaurants are franchisee-owned, and each owner sets their own board — which makes Subway the single most price-variable chain in the country. The same Italian B.M.T. footlong can differ by four dollars across one metro area.
The one rule that holds everywhere: a footlong is almost never double a six-inch. The gap is typically $3 to $4, so per inch the footlong is always the better buy. Prices below are 2026 national averages.

How to Save Money at Subway
- A footlong costs about $3.50 more than a six-inch but gives twice the sandwich — per inch it is always the better order, and half keeps well for the next day.
- Subway digital coupons and the app's BOGO footlong offers appear most months and are the only reliable way to get below the board price.
- The Veggie Delite footlong at $7.29 is the cheapest footlong on the menu and takes free additions of every vegetable on the line.
- Because franchisees set prices individually, checking two nearby stores in the app before ordering can genuinely save $2 to $4 on the same sub.
Subway Menu — Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a footlong at Subway in 2026?
Footlongs run roughly $7.29 for a Veggie Delite to $13.49 for The Beast, with the Italian B.M.T. at about $9.99. Because nearly all stores are franchised, prices vary widely between locations in the same city.
Is a footlong cheaper than two six-inch subs?
Yes, clearly. A footlong typically costs $3 to $4 more than one six-inch, not double, so buying a footlong instead of two six-inch subs saves roughly $3 for the same amount of food.
How much is an Italian B.M.T.?
About $9.99 for a footlong and $6.79 for a six-inch. It has been the chain's flagship sub since 1976 and is usually priced in the middle of the board.
Why do Subway prices vary so much between stores?
About 99% of U.S. Subway restaurants are independently owned, and each franchisee sets their own menu prices based on rent, wages and local competition. Corporate publishes no binding national price list.
Does Subway still do the $5 footlong?
No. The $5 Footlong ended nationally years ago after franchisee opposition, and no equivalent everyday price exists in 2026. Periodic app-only BOGO and percentage-off promotions are the closest replacement.
How much does it cost to add avocado or extra cheese?
Avocado runs about $1.99 and extra cheese about $0.90 on a footlong. Doubling the protein with Footlong Pro adds roughly $3.50.
