CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – Following a 2022-23 season that saw the Illini in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 20 years and the most wins (22) since 1999-2000, there's no better time to support Illinois and the new #OneWay Forward campaign. Season ticket renewals for the highly anticipated 2023-24 Illinois women's basketball campaign begin on June 5 while new season tickets will go on sale a week later, June 12.
In Year 1 under Shauna Green, Illinois women's basketball delivered one of the largest one-year turnarounds across the NCAA. Green led the squad to a 22-10 overall record after taking over a program that had gone 7-20 the season prior. The Illini were ranked in the Top 25 for the first time since the 2000-01 campaign. In the stands, Illinois secured the fifth-best single-season home attendance in program history during the 2022-23 campaign, and Green became the first head coach to bring in 50,000+ fans during their first season at the helm.
Current ticket holders will receive an email to renew their tickets. Additionally, fans can upgrade their seat location or add more tickets by selecting to speak to a representative. The renewal deadline is August 11 to secure the same seat location.

Shauna Green message to Illini Fans
"Having State Farm Center full and loud is absolutely critical in our growth as a program. We are pursuing to be one of the toughest teams to play at home and that is where you all come into play. As we see attendance grow throughout the country, we are especially seeing it in the Big Ten, with multiple teams having sell outs last season. I want Illinois to be one of those places. Teams should fear coming to State Farm Center to play because they know our fans will fill our arena and will be loud to create an unbelievable home court advantage. The time is now to go buy your season tickets. Can't wait to see you all next season at SFC."
