How much is a footlong at Subway?
In our 2026 price list, a Subway footlong costs about $7.29 to $13.49. The plain Veggie Delite is the cheapest, Black Forest Ham is the cheapest meat footlong at about $8.79, and The Beast is the most expensive at about $13.49.
Most people order something in the middle. The Italian B.M.T., Oven-Roasted Turkey and Tuna all land between about $9.79 and $9.99. Hot chicken subs cost more: Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki is about $10.49 and Chicken & Bacon Ranch about $11.79.
These are estimated typical U.S. prices. Subway does not publish one national price list, because every shop is run by a franchise owner who sets its own prices. Your local total can be higher or lower, so check the Subway app with your store selected before you order.

How much is a 6-inch sub at Subway?
A regular six-inch Subway sub costs about $5.29 to $6.79 in our list, from the Veggie Delite to the Italian B.M.T. The value menu goes lower: four Deli Faves six-inch subs cost $3.99, and the Sub of the Day costs $4.99.
That means a six-inch Black Forest Ham is about $6.09 on a normal Tuesday but $4.99 on Friday, when it is the Sub of the Day. If you are flexible about what you eat, matching your order to the day can save you $1 to $2. Our Subway sandwiches page lists the full Sub of the Day schedule.
Is a footlong cheaper than two 6-inch subs?
Yes. At regular prices, one footlong costs about $3.29 to $3.59 less than two six-inch subs of the same kind. The table below shows the gap for six popular subs.
The catch is that the value menu changes the math. Two $3.99 Deli Faves cost $7.98, which is less than most footlongs. And two Sub of the Day six-inch subs cost $9.98, close to a regular footlong. So a footlong is the better deal on regular-menu subs, while value six-inch subs win when the sub you want is on special.
If two people want the same regular-menu sub, one footlong cut in half costs less than two six-inch subs.
| Sub | Two six-inch (about) | One footlong (about) | You save |
|---|---|---|---|
| Veggie Delite | $10.58 | $7.29 | $3.29 |
| Black Forest Ham | $12.18 | $8.79 | $3.39 |
| Meatball Marinara | $12.58 | $8.99 | $3.59 |
| Oven-Roasted Turkey | $13.38 | $9.79 | $3.59 |
| Tuna | $13.38 | $9.79 | $3.59 |
| Italian B.M.T. | $13.58 | $9.99 | $3.59 |
Is the $5 or $6.99 footlong deal back?
No. As of October 31, 2026, neither a $5 footlong nor a $6.99 footlong is a current Subway deal. The $6.99 Any Footlong offer last ran from May 1 to May 31, 2025, as an app and online promotion, and an earlier version ran in late summer 2024.
Subway's everyday low prices now sit on six-inch subs instead: $3.99 Deli Faves and the $4.99 Sub of the Day, both part of the Fresh Value Menu that launched April 28, 2026. Subway runs footlong promotions often, but they change every few weeks. Our Subway deals page tracks what is live, and we do not list promo codes because they expire quickly.
What footlong deals are running now?
One verified footlong offer runs into the holidays. Subway gives a free footlong for every $50 in gift cards you buy through December 31, 2026, up to four per order. You redeem the free sub in a participating shop by January 31, 2027. Separately, the Sub of the Day meal can be upgraded to a footlong for $3 more, per Subway's April 2026 terms.
A Sub Club footlong buy-one-get-one ran on app and online orders from October 27 through November 8, 2026. The free sub had to cost the same or less, and Fresh Fit subs, the 5 Meat Italian and the Big Hot Pastrami were excluded.
Why do Subway footlong prices vary?
Three things move the price most: where you are, how you order and what you add.
Subway says its value prices are higher in California, Washington, Alaska and Hawaii, and higher again on third-party delivery apps, which also add fees. Airport shops can charge more as well. Add-ons stack up quickly: avocado is about $1.99, extra cheese about $0.90 and double protein on a footlong about $3.50 in our list. A Chicken & Bacon Ranch footlong with double meat and avocado can pass $17. For calories by size, see our Subway nutrition information, and for every item on one page, our Subway menu.
