Madison runs 2 pro teams across NCAAF and NCAAB — the Wisconsin Badgers Football (NCAAF) and the Wisconsin Badgers Men's Basketball (NCAAB). This page filters every live listing to August 21 – August 23 only — sorted by date so the earliest weekend start sits on top — so a Friday-night game, a Saturday matinee and a Sunday afternoon all surface in one feed.
Planning Your Madison Weekend
Madison has 12 games on the schedule this weekend (August 21 – August 23). Wisconsin Badgers Football, Wisconsin Badgers Men's Basketball stack their highest-demand matchups Friday through Sunday, so marquee games (rivalries, divisional clashes, premium opponents) often sell out the primary market fast. Verified resale floors regularly drop in the final 24–72 hours before first pitch or kickoff as sellers move inventory before it loses value. If you're locking in plans this week, check the grid below tonight, pick 2–3 candidate games, and watch prices into Friday morning. Weeknight pivots also work — a Tuesday or Wednesday home game routinely prices 30–50% under the Saturday date.
Madison Weekend Venues
Kohl Center anchors the Madison weekend calendar, hosting most Badgers home games. The grid above pulls events across every covered Madison venue, so a Friday-night game, a Saturday matchup, and a Sunday afternoon all surface in one feed.
Madison sports market at a glance
Madison carries 2 pro teams across NCAAF and NCAAB, putting about 40 home dates on the annual calendar. The overlap between seasons — especially when and run concurrently — splits local demand and can push prices down on the less-hyped matchups.
Venue capacity shapes the price floor here. Camp Randall Stadium seats 76,057 for Wisconsin Badgers Football games, which creates more available inventory per event and generally softer resale pricing. In contrast, Kohl Center holds 17,287, so Wisconsin Badgers Men's Basketball tickets carry tighter supply and higher floors on popular dates.
Game-day guide: Madison venues
Camp Randall Stadium — Wisconsin Badgers Football (NCAAF)
Camp Randall Stadium (76,057 seats) is a large open-air stadium in University of Wisconsin campus that hosts Wisconsin Badgers Football (NCAAF) home games. In a stadium this size, upper-deck sideline sections offer the best value views, while lower-bowl seats between the 20-yard lines or behind home plate carry the highest prices. End-zone and outfield seats split the difference. Campus and neighborhood lots open on game day with permit priority; remote lots and shuttle service handle general parking near campus. Madison Metro serves the campus; the stadium sits on the near west side of Madison within walking distance of State Street.
Kohl Center — Wisconsin Badgers Men's Basketball (NCAAB)
Kohl Center (17,287 seats) is a large indoor arena in University of Wisconsin campus that hosts Wisconsin Badgers Men's Basketball (NCAAB) home games. Upper-level center seats are the value play for sightlines, with lower-bowl corners and baselines offering closer views at mid-range prices. Courtside, rinkside, and club sections sit at the top of the price scale. Campus garages and downtown lots serve the arena, several within a short walk near the isthmus.
