Dads Weekend at the University of Illinois will take place November 6–8, 2026, offering a memorable three day celebration filled with Illini traditions and time with your student. All parents and family members are welcome to join the festivities, which begin Friday evening and conclude with Sunday brunch. Event tickets—some with limited quantities and increasing prices as the weekend approaches—should be purchased early. Football tickets will be released later this summer following season ticket sales, and subscribers to our email list will be notified when single game tickets become available. All events are organized by the Illini Dads Association, with proceeds supporting grants for University of Illinois students.
