Kauno Zalgiris are set to open a new chapter in the club’s history after becoming Lithuanian champions for the first time in 2025. Their UEFA Champions League campaign begins with a first qualifying round tie against Drita, the champions of Kosovo, from Gjilan.
The first geme between the champions of Lithuania and Kosovo will take place on 7 July at 19:00 at the Darius and Girėnas Stadium in Kaunas.
Presale for this UEFA Champions League qualifying game has already begun. As Zalgiris Kaunas season tickets are not valid for UEFA competitions, season ticket holders will have priority access during the pre-sale period. Their seats are reserved until Thursday 25 June at 10:00. Any unclaimed seats will later be released for general sale.
Season ticket holders can purchase tickets by logging into their accounts on the ticketing platform, where a reservation has already been created for them.
Tickets in the presale phase are also available to holders of an Annual or Club Zalgiris Insider membership, as well as to Zalgiris basketball season ticket holders for the 2026–2027 season.
Public ticket sales for the UEFA Champions League first qualifying round game against Drita will begin on Thursday 25 June at 10:00.
Discounts are available for school and university students, as well as seniors, when purchasing tickets in advance (valid proof of eligibility must be presented at the stadium entrance). Fans are encouraged to purchase tickets early, as prices will increase closer to game day.
Children aged 7 and under (valid ID required) can attend for free but will not be allocated a seat.
The next game will be held in Pristina, the capital of Kosovo, one week later. The game on 14 July will kick off at 21:00 Lithuanian time.
