Homecoming and Family Weekend

Family Weekend at the University at Buffalo is an eagerly anticipated event that brings together students, their families and supporters, friends, and the university community in a celebration of the pride we have for our university.

Find time to explore our campuses, cheer on our UB Bulls at our homecoming football game, and connect to the pride we have for our community at UB!

During Homecoming, UB undergraduate students receive one (1) free ticket per home game, which can be claimed and activated through the UB Athletics Mobile Ticketing System.

If you are purchasing on behalf of a family or friends for the football game during Homecoming, you can purchase your family’s game tickets for a discounted price and order your student's complimentary ticket all in one transaction on FEVO.

When ordering through the FEVO site, please select the TOTAL number of tickets your family will need to sit together at the game (one ticket per person attending). One ticket will AUTOMATICALLY become your free student ticket before checkout.

Thank you to everyone who joined us inside the Family Weekend tent before the UB Bulls played in the Homecoming football game for our annual Family Weekend Pre-Game Party. 

We loved wrapping up our Family Weekend at UB with everyone who stopped in at the Family Farewell for a little sweet treat before they headed home.

Involvement outside of the classroom is a key component to your student’s success and happiness. Families and supporters who attended this session learned ways that they can support their student so they can make the most out of their time at UB. The intended audience was parents, families, and supporters of UB students, but current UB students were also welcome to attend! Pre-registration is appreciated but not required. 

Fraternity and sorority membership can be a great opportunity for students to improve their leadership skills, participate in service activities and meet other students. Participants were able to hear an overview of UB’s Greek community and had a chance to ask questions of current members of the UB Greek community. The intended audience was parents, families, and supporters of UB students, but current UB students were also welcome to attend! Pre-registration is appreciated but not required.

Have an Awkward Family Photo taken with your family, friends, and supporters. We’ll provide the costumes, props and backgrounds and you provide the awkwardness. This was a fun and memorable way to remember our 2024 UB Family Weekend. Pre-registration is not available for this event. This event is available on a first serve basis; while supplies last. 

Thank you to everyone who dropped by the Annual Homecoming Carnival sponsored by the Undergraduate Student Association. Family Weekend guests enjoyed rides and games at no cost thanks to the generosity of the Undergraduate Student Association and were able to purchase food from vendors on site. Pre-registration is not required. 

For a week or more, some of our Engineering Clubs worked to build a bonfire of 250-300 pallets in the shape of the Homecoming Game’s opposing team mascot. Thank you to everyone who joined our Student Association, Marching Band, cheerleaders, coaches, and players as they burned the Western Michigan Bronco down and capped it off with fireworks!
