CHAMPAIGN — Fans of Illinois Fighting Illini women’s basketball can now renew their season tickets for the 2026-27 season, with renewals officially opening April 20, according to the program’s athletics communications office.

New general admission season tickets will go on sale May 26, followed by remaining inventory on June 29. Renewing ticket holders are encouraged to log in to their accounts before the June 5 deadline to secure their seats and remain eligible for a future seat upgrade process scheduled for late June.

A key change for 2026-27 includes expanded reserved seating inside State Farm Center. Four lower-level sections will transition from general admission to reserved seating, adding more than 450 reserved seats to the arena.

The program continues to build momentum under head coach Shauna Green, who has led the Illini to a strong home record and multiple high-profile victories over nationally ranked opponents in recent seasons.

Illinois also reported continued growth in attendance, including more than 98,000 total home fans during the 2025-26 season and multiple sellouts in premium seating areas.
