Homecoming festivities October 15-18, 2026

This fall, Oregon State University is packing all the Homecoming spirit and Parent and Family Weekend fun into ONE unforgettable weekend: Oct. 15–18, 2026. Get your hotel rooms now!

Join Beaver Nation in Corvallis for a blend of cherished traditions and new beginnings, where you'll find inspiration, laughter and the embrace of a community that stands the test of time. See how the campus has changed and reminisce about the things that are exactly the same as you remember. Most importantly, reconnect with the people and places that made OSU home.

We can’t wait to welcome alumni and families to campus for memorable activities and a fun Homecoming game showdown — Oregon State versus Washington State. Grab your favorite orange-and-black gear and come along for the festivities!

During Homecoming 2026: 

  • Join us for the Black and Orange Awards celebration on Thursday, Oct. 15.
