2026 Season Ticket Deposits
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Fighting Illini fans looking to purchase new season tickets for the 2026 campaign can now reserve their spot in line by placing a non-refundable $50 per seat deposit*. All deposits will be applied to the ticket cost when purchasing seats.
Those who place a deposit by March 2, 2026 will have priority access to select seats from remaining inventory following the season ticket renewal period for existing ticket holders.
Access to purchase the best season ticket seating locations will be based on I FUND membership level and Priority Point ranking. To improve your spot in line and purchase the best seats available at Gies Memorial Stadium, fans are encouraged to join the I FUND.
The Illinois football team continues to set a new standard for the program, including back-to-back postseason trips in 2024 and 2025. The Fighting Illini are aiming to set the program record for wins in a two-year period, have been ranked in 20 weeks over the past two seasons, and have hosted four sellouts at Gies Memorial Stadium for the first time since 2008.
*Season ticket deposits are non-refundable and do not guarantee access to purchase season tickets. 2025 season ticket holders do NOT need to place a deposit for 2026 season tickets. More information on season ticket renewals will be shared in January.
