The UConn women’s basketball program has announced that general admission tickets go on sale on Thursday, August 20, 2026, for an open practice scheduled for Sunday, September 20, 2026, at the William H. Pitt Center on Sacred Heart University’s campus.
Inside the Sacred Heart Open Practice Ticket Tiers and Schedule
For the second straight season, Sacred Heart University’s Pitt Center will host the Huskies for a preseason exhibition open to the public. UConn Athletics confirmed that Husky Athletic Fund members secured an exclusive presale beginning Tuesday, August 18, 2026, ahead of the general public release.
Ticket options vary by pricing tier and access level. General admission costs $40, while a general admission package paired with post-practice meet-and-greet access runs $90. Courtside seats, which also include access to meet the entire 2026-27 roster, are priced at $125. Program officials note that meet-and-greet availability is subject to capacity limits. Given that last year’s event at the 2,000-seat venue sold out in less than a week, demand remains exceptionally high.
