Vanderbilt University announced on May 14 that it will introduce ticketing at the Vanderbilt Soccer Complex for the upcoming 2026 soccer season. The move is described as an important step to support head coach Darren Ambrose and the Commodores as they aim to build on recent achievements in women’s collegiate sports.
Season tickets for the reigning Southeastern Conference (SEC) Tournament champions, who reached the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight last fall, will go on sale Thursday, May 21. Priced at $50 plus applicable fees, these tickets cover all nonconference and SEC regular-season home games. Last year, Vanderbilt remained undefeated in nine regular-season home matches, including a notable win against Tennessee in their final home game of the season. Supporters are encouraged to sign up for updates about ticket sales.
Single-game tickets will be available later this summer at $10 per game following the release of the full schedule. Group tickets will also be offered later this summer with a minimum purchase requirement of 15 tickets for group pricing.
Darren Ambrose said, “For the past 11 seasons, I’ve been fortunate to see what is possible when we invest in the remarkable young women who choose to be Commodores. We have more we want to achieve, and in a new era of college athletics, that means exploring every pathway to support student-athlete development and put them in position to succeed. We have the most loyal and passionate fans in college soccer, people who support us in the best tradition of soccer clubs as community anchors. And I can promise our fans we will continue playing an attractive style of attacking soccer.”
Vanderbilt was recognized as the SEC’s first women’s soccer champion and has maintained its status as a leader within southern collegiate athletics. Under Ambrose’s leadership over eleven seasons—including a recent contract extension—the team has won two SEC Tournament championships and one regular-season title while making seven NCAA tournament appearances. Several student-athletes have advanced professionally from leagues such as NWSL to UEFA Women’s Champions League competition.
Ticket revenue is seen by Vanderbilt officials as an important element for sustaining excellence within collegiate athletics alongside initiatives like Anchored for Her—a campaign supporting women’s sports at Vanderbilt—which includes plans for a future new stadium dedicated to soccer and lacrosse.
