Subway Menu USA & Updated Prices 2026
Subway sandwiches run from about $3.99 for new Fresh Value Menu items up to $16.59 for premium footlongs, with standard 6-inch subs around $5.49-$9.79 and footlongs $8.99-$15.49. Below is the full menu, the new 2026 Fresh Value Menu, and why build-your-own customization is Subway’s defining feature.
How we built this page: prices below are estimated national averages compiled by cross-checking multiple public menu-price trackers as of 2026, not a single unverified source. Subway is almost entirely franchise-owned, and each franchisee sets their own prices — the same sandwich can vary by 30% or more between stores just a few miles apart. Always confirm at your local restaurant or in the app before ordering.

About Subway
Subway was founded in 1965 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and grew into one of the largest fast food chains in the world by number of locations, with roughly 37,000 restaurants worldwide. The chain’s defining feature has always been build-your-own customization — choosing bread, protein, cheese, toppings, and sauce in front of the customer, a format almost no competitor of Subway’s scale replicates. In 2023, Subway was acquired by Roark Capital, entering a modernization phase that includes the Subway Series menu and, in April 2026, its first-ever dedicated value menu.

Subway’s Specialty & Services
Subway’s specialty is build-your-own transparency — every sandwich is assembled in front of the customer with visible, chosen ingredients, a format that scaled to become the largest sandwich chain in the world by location count. Beyond the counter menu:
- Free vegetable toppings: unlike some competitors, Subway includes unlimited vegetable toppings at no extra charge on any size sandwich
- MVP Rewards BOGO promotion: a recurring buy-one-get-one-50%-off Footlong deal through the app, widely considered Subway’s strongest standing offer
- Catering platters: sandwich trays built for office and group orders, cut into smaller portions from full-size subs

What Makes Subway Different
Subway’s defining feature is build-your-own transparency at massive scale — nearly every sandwich is assembled visibly in front of the customer, a format that helped it become the largest sandwich chain in the world by location count. The 2026 Fresh Value Menu marks a genuine strategic shift, giving Subway its first true value-menu category to compete directly with lower-priced fast food rather than just other sandwich shops.
