CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – The 2020-21 Fighting Illini's women's basketball schedule was released Monday (Nov. 23) with the Orange and Blue set to host four non-conference games and play an expanded 20-game Big Ten Conference slate. Additionally, the Big Ten announced the dates for the 2021 Big Ten Tournament – March 9-13 – at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

Tipoff times for each of the Illini's first two contests are set; Wednesday's opener against Indiana State will start at 7 p.m. CT, and the following week Illinois welcomes Valparaiso with a tipoff at 5 p.m. CT. Both games will be streamed live on BTN+.  

Tip times and broadcast details for the remaining non-conference games – Dec. 6 vs. Omaha and Dec. 22 vs. Southern Illinois – and the conference schedule, are still to be determined.

Following the same protocols that are in place at Memorial Stadium, there will be no public sale of tickets for Illinois women's basketball. Season-ticket holders will have the opportunity to renew their 2019-20 season ticket locations for the 2021-22 season next year.
