Homecoming 2026

The ultimate Anteater celebration! This year’s Homecoming was extra special as we honored UC Irvine’s 60th anniversary on Saturday, February 28, 2026.

From 3 PM, the Homecoming Block Party took over Mesa Road with carnival games, festival food, live performances, a pep rally, fireworks, and UCI Men’s Basketball taking on UCSB.

This year’s celebration was even bigger with an expanded weekend lineup, including campus experiences, family activities and special alumni gatherings.

Your connection helps keep Anteater traditions strong, making Homecoming special and we’re thrilled to celebrate with you. Don’t forget to connect with the ICS Alumni Chapter year round!

Thank you for joining us! We can’t wait to celebrate again next year!
