College football season is fast approaching, and Boise State University is inviting students, families, alumni and fans to join in a weeklong celebration of Bronco spirit during the 2025 Homecoming and Parent & Family Weekend, happening Oct. 6–12. 

The week will be packed with events and activities leading up to the big game on Saturday, Oct. 11 as the Boise State Broncos take on New Mexico at Albertsons Stadium. Tickets for the game will go on sale to the general public later this summer.

A lively procession of Bronco blue and orange will be followed by a pep rally at the intramural field north of the Student Union Building, where fans can join Boise State coaches and athletes in celebration. Fans are invited to nominate a parade grand marshal or enter a float to join the parade.

Additional events include the Distinguished Alumni Awards Gala, Homecoming and Parent and Family tailgate and Bronco spirit contests. Homecoming week also will bring groups recognizing anniversaries and reunions to campus, including the School of Public Service’s 10th anniversary.
