What's worth seeing in Memphis this weekend
Basketball pricing tracks the marquee visitors: the Grizzlies at FedExForum discount weeknight games against lottery teams, where upper-bowl corners are the value seats in Beale Street Entertainment District.
Planning Your Memphis Weekend
Memphis has 5 games on the schedule this weekend (August 21 – August 23). Grizzlies, Memphis Tigers Football, Memphis Tigers Men's Basketball stack their highest-demand matchups Friday through Sunday, so marquee games (rivalries, divisional clashes, premium opponents) often sell out the primary market fast. Verified resale floors regularly drop in the final 24–72 hours before first pitch or kickoff as sellers move inventory before it loses value. If you're locking in plans this week, check the grid below tonight, pick 2–3 candidate games, and watch prices into Friday morning. Weeknight pivots also work — a Tuesday or Wednesday home game routinely prices 30–50% under the Saturday date.
Memphis Weekend Venues
FedExForum anchors the Memphis weekend calendar, hosting most Grizzlies home games. The grid above pulls events across every covered Memphis venue, so a Friday-night game, a Saturday matchup, and a Sunday afternoon all surface in one feed.
Memphis sports market at a glance
Memphis carries 3 pro teams across NBA, NCAAF, and NCAAB, putting about 81 home dates on the annual calendar. The overlap between seasons — especially when NBA and run concurrently — splits local demand and can push prices down on the less-hyped matchups.
Venue capacity shapes the price floor here. Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium seats 58,325 for Memphis Tigers Football games, which creates more available inventory per event and generally softer resale pricing. In contrast, FedExForum holds 16,667, so Grizzlies tickets carry tighter supply and higher floors on popular dates.
Game-day guide: Memphis venues
FedExForum — Grizzlies (NBA)
FedExForum (16,667 seats) is a large indoor arena in Beale Street Entertainment District that hosts Grizzlies (NBA) home games. Upper-level center seats are the value play for sightlines, with lower-bowl corners and baselines offering closer views at mid-range prices. Courtside, rinkside, and club sections sit at the top of the price scale. The five-level FedExForum Garage at 195 Dr MLK Jr Ave holds about 1,500 vehicles adjoining the arena. MATA Main Street trolley stops at Beale Street and Linden Avenue are about two blocks away.
Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium — Memphis Tigers Football (NCAAF)
Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium (58,325 seats) is a mid-size stadium in Memphis (Mid-South Fairgrounds / Liberty Park) that hosts Memphis Tigers Football (NCAAF) home games. In a stadium this size, upper-deck sideline sections offer the best value views, while lower-bowl seats between the 20-yard lines or behind home plate carry the highest prices. End-zone and outfield seats split the difference. Fairgrounds and Liberty Park lots open on game day for tailgating; permit and remote lots handle general parking. MATA buses and game-day shuttles serve the stadium at Liberty Park in Memphis.
