With the anticipation for the 2025-26 Illinois men's basketball season growing, a limited number of season tickets at State Farm Center are set to go on sale this week. The availability is restricted, and fans are advised to act promptly to secure their seats.

The release of season tickets will follow a phased schedule, starting with I FUND members and those on the men's basketball waitlist before opening up to the general public. Given the high demand and limited supply, early planning is recommended.

The ticket sale schedule begins on Wednesday, July 9. At 9 a.m. CT, Loyalty Circle Silver, Loyalty Circle Gold & Hall of Fame members can purchase tickets. Olympian, Block I & Loyalty Circle Bronze members have access at 12 p.m. CT, followed by Champion & Oskee members at 3 p.m. CT.

On Thursday, July 10, New Illini, Captains & All-American members can buy tickets starting at 9 a.m. CT. The men's basketball waitlist opens at 12 p.m. CT.

Finally, on Friday, July 11 at 9 a.m. CT, sales open to the general public.

Illinois is coming off a successful season with 22 wins and an NCAA Tournament Second Round appearance. They finished with a final kenpom ranking of 17th and have been the most successful team in Big Ten play over the last six years under Coach Brad Underwood's leadership. They are one of only four teams nationally with six consecutive seasons of at least 20 regular-season wins.

I FUND members and waitlist registrants can log into their accounts during their designated times to purchase tickets. Fans not affiliated with I FUND or on the waitlist can buy season tickets starting Friday morning.
