Vote Now: The 2025 Top HBCU Homecoming Poll
Every fall, something powerful happens across HBCU campuses. Streets fill with color, bands shake the ground, alumni come home, and the culture takes center stage. It’s not just a weekend — it’s a movement. From the chants echoing through the yard to the rhythm of the drumline leading the parade, homecoming is where tradition meets legacy.
This year, HBCU Buzz is once again giving the culture a voice with our 2025 Top HBCU Homecoming Poll. We’re putting the spotlight on the schools that bring the most spirit, pride, and unforgettable moments to their homecoming celebrations — and we’re letting the people decide who truly runs homecoming season.
The Spirit of the Yard
For decades, HBCU homecomings have been cultural milestones. Whether it’s Howard University’s Yardfest, FAMU’s Rattler Strike, or The Sonic Boom of the South marching through Jackson State, every school carries its own legacy.
These celebrations go beyond football games or parades. They’re living proof that the HBCU experience continues to unite generations — from alumni coming home to the students who now carry the torch.
Each year, the energy grows louder, the reunions get bigger, and the creativity behind every tailgate, fashion fit, and halftime show reaches new heights. That’s what this poll is all about — capturing that unmatched spirit and letting the people decide who really ran homecoming season in 2025.
Voting is simple — and the bragging rights are real. You can vote once per day until the poll closes at 11:59 p.m. ET on November 25, 2025

More Than a Poll — It’s a Cultural Statement
When you vote, you’re not just choosing a winner — you’re honoring a legacy. You’re shining a light on the schools that make HBCU life the heartbeat of Black excellence.
From the precision of the bands to the artistry of the Greek plots, from the alumni cookouts to the Sunday send-offs, each celebration tells the story of who we are. And that story deserves to be told loud and proud.
At HBCU Buzz, we’ve covered the movement from every angle — from Howard’s legendary Yardfest to Jackson State’s show-stopping halftime performances. This poll continues that tradition by giving our audience the power to choose which campus brought the biggest impact this year.
The Legacy Lives On
Past winners have proven one thing: homecoming is where culture meets community. Whether it’s a small campus or a powerhouse university, each school contributes to the collective heartbeat of HBCU life.
This year, we’re inviting every voice to be part of the story. So gather your crew, hit share, and make sure your school gets the recognition it deserves.
