Both WVU basketball programs will open the 2026-27 season with the Ballin’ at Woodburn on Thursday, Oct. 15, at 7:00 p.m. at Woodburn Circle on the downtown campus.

This will be the fans’ first look at the 2026-27 basketball programs in an annual event that started last year. It serves as a tip-off to Homecoming weekend in Morgantown. Admission to the event is free with entry beginning at 6 p.m.

Parking will be available, free of charge, after 5 p.m., in the nearby University short-term parking lots and Mountainlair parking garage.

The tip-off event will feature food trucks, a live DJ, emcee, team intros, interactive competitions with players and fans, a live interview with staff/players, performances from the WVU cheerleaders and dance team and more. Fans also will be able to get autographs from the men’s and women’s basketball teams for 30 minutes following the event.

Further details will be released in the weeks leading up to the event.
