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.
