UConn Opens Its Roster to Fans
UConn’s women’s basketball program will open its doors to the public on September 20, staging an open practice at Sacred Heart University’s Pitt Center in Fairfield. The event marks the first opportunity for supporters to see the 2026‑27 roster in action before the season officially begins.
Doors will swing open at 1 p.m., with the practice itself tipping off at 2 p.m. General ticket sales launch on August 20 through the UConn ticket portal, while members of the Husky Athletic Fund receive a head start on August 18. Attendees can choose from several tiers, including $40 general admission, $90 for admission plus a meet‑and‑greet, and $125 for courtside seats combined with a personal encounter with the players.
Meet the 2026‑27 Squad
The practice will showcase a roster that includes Sarah Strong, the reigning National Player of the Year, Blanca Quiñonez, the Big East Freshman of the Year, and Olivia Vukosa, the second‑ranked recruit in the nation. Their presence adds a layer of excitement, as each player brings a distinct skill set that could shape the team’s early dynamics.
Schedule and Exhibition Games
Beyond the open practice, the Huskies will test themselves against a slate of non‑conference opponents. Two preseason exhibitions are set for October 12 against Syracuse and October 19 versus Texas, followed by road trips to Michigan on November 5, Iowa on November 8, UNLV on December 2 and Tennessee on December 12.
Ticket Details and Early Access
Fans seeking the premium experience can upgrade to courtside seating, which bundles a meet‑and‑greet with a $125 ticket. The variety of price points ensures that both casual observers and die‑hard supporters can secure a spot at what promises to be a high‑energy preview.
