Homecoming week is almost here — welcome home, Baylor Family!
Almost 120 years ago, Baylor hosted the first collegiate homecoming celebration in the nation.
This week (Nov. 2-7, 2026) we renew that tradition. Baylor Homecoming is the biggest Baylor Family reunion of the year — all about seeing old friends, recalling fond memories, sharing those stories with the next generation, and celebrating together as one.
For students, the festivities begin on campus Monday night with Homecoming Worship (presented by Vertical) in the SUB Bowl, followed by Dinner with the Livingstones on Tuesday and Ten at Ten: A Mass Meeting Experience on Thursday.
Alumni begin to arrive Thursday and Friday. Whether you frequently return to campus, are coming back for the first time in years, or you’re bringing the littles — we’ve got Homecoming itineraries drawn up just for you:
Itinerary One: All the Hits
Itinerary Two: For those who haven’t been back in years
Itinerary Three: For families with young kids
If you’re just looking for a general rundown: Start your weekend with Homecoming at the Hurd, then head off to highlights such as Pigskin Revue (Thursday-Saturday) and Friday’s 50-year class reunion, Singspiration, the Royal & Pure Homecoming Stroll-Off, Pep Rally and Bonfire. On Saturday, the celebration continues with the Homecoming Parade (time TBA) and Baylor football hosting Iowa State (time TBA) at McLane Stadium.
