The event returns tens of thousands of alumni to Stillwater to partake in the festivities and reconnect with their alma mater.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Alumni Association was unable to host the 2020 edition of homecoming, which was slated to be the centennial celebration of this OSU tradition.

The Alumni Association plans to celebrate the centennial in 2021 but will continue to monitor the ongoing pandemic.

Dates for the centennial Homecoming will be announced following the publication of 2021 Big 12 Conference football schedule.
