As the school year comes to an end, fall is swiftly approaching, and homecoming season will soon arrive. Several HBCUs have already released their homecoming dates , not even waiting until the 2025 homecoming season was over to prepare students, alumni, and community members for next year's celebration.
The 2026 homecoming season will certainly be one for the history books, as North Carolina A&T celebrates their centennial homecoming celebration. Meanwhile, Pro Football Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk gets to enjoy his first homecoming as head coach of Southern University in his first season with the team.
Michael Vick and DeSean Jackson are also heading into their second seasons as head coaches during their homecoming festivities. Jackson looks to bring the same success that Delaware State saw last season. Meanwhile, Vick looks to turn the tide and leave the Spartan faithful happy with a demonstrative victory during homecoming season.
Nevertheless, homecoming will continue to be a tentpole event for HBCU alumni around the nation. Below are the dates for 2026 homecoming around the nation.
