We have a renewed appreciation for your presence, and we are looking forward to seeing you.

Specific health protocols that will be in place for home athletics events starting this fall will be announced at a later date.

Season tickets for Virginia’s 2021 football season are currently on sale. Information regarding ticket sales for other Cavalier sports programs will be announced in the future.
