Spurs Unveil Free Tickets and Details for This Year's Silver & Black Open Scrimmage

San Antonio, Texas – Exactly a year after Victor Wembanyama’s emotional return to Frost Bank Center following his deep‑vein thrombosis diagnosis, the Spurs are gearing up to showcase their 2026‑27 roster. The club confirmed on Tuesday that the Silver & Black Open Scrimmage will take place Sunday, Oct. 4, and, yes, admission is free.

Getting a seat, however, isn’t as simple as walking in. The Spurs are handing out tickets on a first‑come, first‑serve basis. To be eligible for up to four complimentary passes, fans must either click the link in the official announcement or text “SCRIMMAGE” to 210‑444‑5940, thereby joining the Official Spurs Fan Club by 11:59 p.m. Central on Sept. 20. This step applies to both new and returning members.

If you already hold season tickets, you’re in luck – no extra steps are required. Season‑ticket holders automatically receive up to four tickets per account, delivered through their Account Manager and must claim them by 11:59 p.m. Central on Sept. 13, while supplies last. Any remaining general‑admission tickets will be awarded to lucky fans by Monday, Sept. 21, and must be claimed within 24 hours.

Last year’s scrimmage gave fans a glimpse of Wembanyama’s first action in eight months – he dropped 12 points, shooting 4‑for‑6, and Luke Kornet announced himself as a promising rim protector. This season, the spotlight shifts to newcomers Ja’Kobi Gillespie, Maliq Brown and Tarris Reed Jr., who are expected to see regular‑season minutes. Unfortunately, 19‑year‑old Jayden Quaintance, who celebrated his birthday in Las Vegas, will sit out as he continues his rehab. “My priority is getting to 100 percent,” he said, trusting the medical staff.

Beyond the 40‑minute on‑court action, fans can enjoy discounted concessions throughout the arena and a 15 percent markdown on any merchandise bought at the Spurs Fan Shop. Parking is complimentary in Lots 1‑7, and doors swing open at 5 p.m. Central. It’s shaping up to be a festive, low‑key preview of what’s to come.
