Fighting Illini Basketball returned to national prominence this season and was poised for a strong postseason run before the unfortunate but necessary ending due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Illinois recorded its most Big Ten wins since 2005 and ended the year at No. 21 in the AP poll, recording its first top-25 finish since 2006. The momentum gained from this year's achievements has the program in position for continued success in 2020-21, and fans can make their plans now to be at State Farm Center when those moments happen.
Season ticket holders who renew beginning Monday and before the deadline of May 8 will receive the benefit of locking in the same ticket prices from this past season*. Renewals can be made online at FightingIllini.com. Renewing season tickets early also will allow fans the ability to take advantage of a payment plan option and spread out payments over a six-month period. (*lock-in pricing offer excludes Mobile Pass)
In addition to renewals, sales for new season tickets open on Monday as well online at FightingIllini.com. The 2020-21 Illini home schedule will include 10 Big Ten games at State Farm Center and a number of non-conference match-ups, highlighted by a showdown with Arizona on Dec. 12. The complete home schedule will be announced this summer.
