The Milwaukee men's basketball team has scheduled an exhibition game against Parkside on October 25 at the Klotsche Center. The event, which begins at 1 p.m., will serve as the first public opportunity for fans to see the team ahead of the 2025-26 season.

According to the program, all proceeds from the contest will go toward Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) efforts for Milwaukee men's basketball. Doors will open at noon for attendees.

Ticket options include a $25 general admission package and a $100 package that features a limited-edition team-issued hoodie, a signed team poster, a meet and greet with players, and general admission access. Additional packages and group opportunities are expected to be announced in the coming weeks. UWM students can attend free with a valid student ID.

Fans are also invited to participate in a postgame shootaround and player autograph session on the court. Tickets must be purchased in advance through a dedicated link; they are not included in season membership packages or available via Ticketmaster accounts associated with Milwaukee Athletics.
