Timberwolves Hunt the Cup: $199 for 11 home games, money back if Minnesota wins the Cup

MINNEAPOLIS — Oct. 15, 2026 — The Timberwolves are selling a month of Target Center basketball for $199, and if they win the Emirates NBA Cup they will hand that money back as ticket credit. Hunt the Cup covers one seat to each of 11 home games from Oct. 30 through Nov. 27, including both Cup group-play nights at home, plus playoff presale access. The offer closes Wednesday, Oct. 29, at noon Central.

That works out to about $18.09 a game before taxes and fees — a steep discount for a stretch that includes Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball against the Clippers, Bucks, Knicks, Mavericks and a Cup rematch with Memphis. The club opened the program on Oct. 12 and is pitching it as a fan bet on Minnesota’s Cup run in West Group B with Oklahoma City, Memphis, the Clippers and New Orleans.

What $199 buys

Each Hunt the Cup pass is one ticket to every Timberwolves home game in the window. Seats are in a designated 200-level block with a consistent location across all 11 nights. Tickets load into the buyer’s Timberwolves account after purchase.

The two Cup dates inside the package are Friday, Oct. 30, against the Los Angeles Clippers (7 p.m. CT) and Friday, Nov. 27, against the Memphis Grizzlies (7:30 p.m. CT). Minnesota’s other Cup games — at New Orleans on Nov. 6 and at Oklahoma City on Nov. 25 — are road nights and are not part of the pass.

The 11 home games

Tips below are Central time from the league schedule. The Oct. 25 home opener against Toronto and the Oct. 28 Warriors game fall before the package window and are not included.

Date	Opponent	Tip (CT)	Note
Fri., Oct. 30	Clippers	7 p.m.	Emirates NBA Cup
Mon., Nov. 2	Bucks	7 p.m.
Sun., Nov. 8	Jazz	6 p.m.
Thu., Nov. 12	Mavericks	7 p.m.	NBA TV
Sat., Nov. 14	Bulls	7 p.m.
Mon., Nov. 16	Trail Blazers	7 p.m.
Tue., Nov. 17	Trail Blazers	7 p.m.	Back-to-back
Thu., Nov. 19	Knicks	7 p.m.	NBA TV
Sat., Nov. 21	Grizzlies	7 p.m.
Mon., Nov. 23	Nets	6:30 p.m.	Peacock
Fri., Nov. 27	Grizzlies	7:30 p.m.	Emirates NBA Cup

Eight of those 11 nights sit in November alone, which matches the club’s unusual early home concentration before a long December–January road stretch.

Win the Cup, get $199 back

If the Timberwolves win the 2026-27 Emirates NBA Cup — advancing out of group play, through the knockouts and winning the championship game currently set for Dec. 11 — each qualifying pass earns a $199 credit on the buyer’s Timberwolves ticket account. The rebate is face value only; taxes and fees paid at checkout are not refunded.

Credits would arrive about 15 business days after a Cup title and can be used on single-game or Flex Plan tickets for the rest of the 2026-27 regular season. They expire Sunday, April 11, at 7:30 p.m. CT. The rebate is not guaranteed; it rides entirely on Minnesota cutting down the Cup bracket.

Who can buy — and who cannot

Hunt the Cup is limited to permanent Minnesota residents age 18 or older who are not current Timberwolves season-ticket members. Passes are non-transferable and not eligible for resale. The limit is six passes per person while supplies last. Purchases must clear by noon CT on Oct. 29 through the team’s Hunt the Cup page on Timberwolves.com.

Buyers who need help can call the team at 612-673-1234 or email sales at timberwolves.com. The program is sponsored by the Timberwolves and is not sponsored or administered by the NBA.

How it fits the Cup calendar

Minnesota’s group-play path opens at home against the Clippers on Oct. 30, then visits New Orleans and Oklahoma City before closing group play at Target Center against Memphis on Nov. 27. A deep run would put the Wolves into the Cup knockout rounds in early December and, if they keep winning, into the championship at Indianapolis’s Hinkle Fieldhouse.

For Minnesota fans who want a dense stretch of Target Center nights without buying a full membership, Hunt the Cup is the clearest short-term ticket play on the board — and the rebate turns every Cup win into money that can be spent later in the season.
