IOWA CITY, Iowa — The University of Iowa Athletics Department has announced season ticket information for the 2025-26 winter sports season, including men’s wrestling, men’s basketball and women’s basketball. These updates reflect the department’s ongoing commitment to delivering a premier fan experience, while supporting the success of Hawkeye student-athletes.

“There is nothing like the roar of Carver-Hawkeye Arena,” said Beth Goetz, Henry B. and Patricia B. Tippie Director of Athletics Chair. “Our fans are the heartbeat of every season, and their unwavering support is felt by our student-athletes and coaches. We are excited for the upcoming seasons and creating the next wave of unforgettable Hawkeye moments.”

Renewal applications for men’s and women’s basketball are currently available online. Men’s wrestling renewal applications will be posted mid-July.

Men’s Basketball
Iowa men’s basketball enters a new era under head coach Ben McCollum, who brings 14 winning seasons and four NCAA Division II national championships from Northwest Missouri State.

Fans who placed deposits for new season tickets will begin the seat selection process on July 8, in priority order.

Season ticket prices range from $335-$385, depending on location. Certain sections of CHA also require a per-seat I-Club donation that is not reflected in season ticket price.

Additional single-game and ticket package information will be announced later this summer.

Women’s Basketball
Under P. Sue Beckwith, MD, Head Coach Jan Jensen, the Hawkeyes won 23 games and reached the NCAA Tournament Round of 32 last season. The program has made 16 consecutive postseason appearances, including back-to-back national runner-up finishes in 2023 and 2024.

Following a second straight sold-out season, a variety of season ticket options are available:

Black-Padded Sections:

• Adults: $225–$250
• Faculty/Staff & Seniors: $205–$225
• Courtside: $400
• No youth pricing available for black-padded and courtside seating

Non-Black Padded Sections:

• Adults: $215–$235
• Faculty/Staff & Seniors: $190–$215
• Youth: $130–$140

Men’s Wrestling
Iowa men’s wrestling continues its tradition of excellence, having sold out season tickets for four consecutive years. The Hawkeyes earned a team trophy at the NCAA Championships for the 15th time in the last 17 events and crowned their 86th national champion, Stephen Buchanan II.

Season ticket pricing for black-padded seats are $200, while all other locations will be $175 for public and $160 for faculty/staff.

New Courtside Seating Section
New for 2025-26, a courtside riser with capacity for over 200 individuals will be installed on the south baseline of Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Primarily designated for student seating, this platform will enhance the in-game atmosphere by bringing fans close to the court in addition to providing additional floor level concession opportunities.

Information on the sale of UI student season ticket for men’s and women’s basketball will be distributed to students in September.

This installation of the riser will affect some current season ticket holders for women’s basketball and men’s wrestling. The Athletics Ticket Office will assist with relocations as needed during the renewal process.

Construction of the new Arena Ramp, located east of Carver-Hawkeye Arena, will impact Lot 40 and Lot 33, including ADA gameday parking. During construction:

• ADA parking will be relocated to Lot 75, south of the arena.
• Additional I-Club donor parking details will be shared during the renewal process.
