Texas women’s basketball has reached a first in program history: season tickets are sold out.
The milestone arrives before the 2026-27 season and comes on the back of a stretch that has lifted Vic Schaefer’s program to another level, including consecutive NCAA Women’s Final Four trips and the 2026 SEC Tournament championship.
Much of that surge has been fueled by Longhorn Nation, which has turned Moody Center into a place opponents dread. Texas has won 44 straight games at home, and the Longhorns went unbeaten at Moody Center over each of the last two seasons.
“What an incredible and historic moment for Texas Women's Basketball,” said Chris Del Conte, Vice President and Lois and Richard Folger Athletics Director. “Longhorn Nation continues to show up and show out for this tremendous program, and we cannot thank our fans enough for their passion and unwavering support.
What Coach Schaefer, his staff and our student athletes have built is truly special. They represent Texas with tremendous pride, compete for championships and have created an atmosphere at Moody Center that is second to none.
We cannot wait to experience another unforgettable season together.”
Schaefer pointed to the fan base’s role in the sellout and the atmosphere it has created inside Moody Center.
“We are incredibly grateful to Longhorn Nation for believing in our program and supporting our young women in such a special way,” said Head Coach Vic Schaefer. “Our fans have helped make the Moody Center one of the toughest places to play in the country, and selling out season tickets for the first time in program history speaks volumes about their passion and commitment. We take great pride in representing The University of Texas, and our team cannot wait to compete in front of a packed house every night this season”
While general public season tickets are gone, a limited number of single-game tickets for select matchups could become available later. Fans can also look to SeatGeek, which serves as Texas Athletics’ official fan-to-fan marketplace.
Students still have a path in. Returning and incoming UT students can purchase the Big Ticket, which covers more than 100 Texas Athletics regular-season events during the 2026-27 academic year, including every regular-season women’s basketball home game.
The upcoming schedule is loaded, with Texas set to face 12 teams that finished the 2025-26 season ranked. The Longhorns open with four straight home games, starting against Fairleigh Dickinson on Wednesday, Nov. 4 at Moody Center.
From there, the home slate gets even bigger. Texas hosts Louisville in the SEC/ACC Challenge on Dec. 2, then opens SEC play at home against South Carolina on Jan.
- The rest of the conference home schedule includes Tennessee on Jan.
7, Alabama on Jan. 14, Vanderbilt on Jan.
17, Missouri on Jan. 28, Arkansas on Feb.
8, Texas A&M on Feb. 14 and Florida on Feb. 21.
For fans hoping to get in on season tickets down the line, Texas is directing them to complete the ticket interest form to receive updates when information about the 2027-28 season-ticket waitlist becomes available.
The growth is clear from recent seasons, too: Texas listed season ticket totals of 6,803 in 2023-24, 7,836 in 2024-25 and 9,258 in 2025-26.

Florida Just Got A Needed Recruiting Boost After That Ugly Loss
Floridas Week 6 loss to South Carolina stung on the field, but the Gators needed something positive quickly and got it on the recruiting trail. Five-star wide receiver Easton Royal, the No. 1 receiver in the 2027 class, flipped his commitment from Texas to Florida shortly after the defeat, giving the program a jolt at a time when the margin for good news felt pretty thin.
Royals decision matters beyond the headline because he is one of the most coveted prospects in the country and is expected to wrap up his recruitment soon. For Texas, it is a notable miss in a class that had been building momentum, while Florida gets a major boost as it tries to steady itself after slipping to 4-2 overall and 2-2 in the SEC.

Texas Has A Discipline Problem Sarkisian Can't Ignore
The loss to Oklahoma brought Texas back to a familiar and frustrating theme: the Longhorns again hurt themselves with flags at the worst possible moments. They were penalized eight times for 61 yards, and the numbers fit the broader concern Steve Sarkisian has been trying to push to the front of the conversation. Even with a modest dip in penalties per game from last season, the Longhorns have not shaken the kind of mistakes that can swing a tight rivalry game.
Sarkisian has already pointed to penalties as the biggest issue the staff has to clean up, and he described the problem as a mix of effort-based plays and mental miscues. That makes the fix harder than simply preaching discipline in practice, because the issue is not coming from one place or one player group. Texas can outplay an opponent in stretches and still leave the door open if it keeps layering avoidable mistakes on top of itself. [Read more 🡒]
Texas Must Fix One Frustrating Problem After Red River Loss
The Red River loss left Texas with more than a blemish in the rivalry column. It also put a spotlight on the kind of offensive inconsistency that has followed the Longhorns at times this season, even with plenty of individual talent on the roster. Senior offensive lineman Trevor Goosby and coach Steve Sarkisian both pointed to the same basic task afterward: put the disappointment behind them and get the unit executing better.
Sarkisian also owned the responsibility for the offenses struggles, a notable admission from a coach who knows the standard in Austin does not leave much room for uneven Saturdays. The Longhorns have shown enough ability to suggest the ceiling is still there, but the next stretch will be about turning that talent into steadier production. For Texas, the frustration is not just the loss itself, but the feeling that the offense still has to prove it can hold up when the stage gets biggest. [Read more 🡒]
