SMU Basketball Prepares for 2026‑27 Season as Ticket Renewals Begin

Men’s team holds No. 6 ranking in transfer class; women’s roster adds Zahra King and fresh talent; renewal deadlines set for June and July

SMU Athletics has opened the season‑ticket renewal window for both the men’s and women’s basketball programs, signaling the start of preparations for the 2026‑27 campaign.

A fresh look for the Mustangs

The men’s squad, which broke an eight‑year NCAA Tournament drought in 2025‑26, is now ranked No. 6 nationally for its transfer class, a testament to the impact of transfers such as Boopie Miller, whose half‑court buzzer‑beater against Virginia Tech earned the nickname "Miracle from the Miller."

On the women’s side, star forward Zahra King returns after a 40‑point outing against Pitt last season, while the roster welcomes newcomers Kinsea Grimes, Grace Ezebilo, Theresa Hagans Jr. and Adja Kane, each expected to add depth and versatility.

Renewal deadlines and pricing

Premium‑seating renewals for the women’s team close on Tuesday, June 30, while the men’s deadline falls on Friday, July 31. SMU based the 2026‑27 ticket prices on a data‑driven study that incorporated fan feedback, attendance trends and operational costs. The new rates include all standard fees, and supporters who renew in May can take advantage of flexible payment plans.

Parking arrangements and Miller Club donation levels have also been refreshed, with updated Mustang Club Benefits charts outlining the perks associated with each tier.
