It’s more than a tradition—it’s a homecoming.
This October, Albany State University invites you to join us in “Reigniting the Flame” at Albany State University’s 2025 Homecoming Celebration! This year’s theme reflects not just our return to tradition—but a bold step forward in unity, pride, and community. From alumni reunions to student celebrations, the parade to the big game—#ASUHC25 will be a week you won’t want to miss.

As we prepare for a week of powerful connections and celebration, we’re extending a special and heartfelt invitation to all Albany State University alumni, as well as alumni representing the legacy of Darton State College. Since the 2015 consolidation, we’ve been building one powerful institution—and it’s time to celebrate that legacy together.

The game will be streamed live on HBCUGo. Check your local cable listings for theGrio Cable Network! Visit sports.hbcugo.tv for all the ways to watch. 

Here is everything you need to prepare for the best week of the year:
