The University of Central Florida (UCF) has announced its Homecoming Week for 2025, scheduled to take place from October 13 to October 19. The week will feature a series of events for students, alumni, faculty, staff, and the broader community across both the main campus and UCF Downtown.
Among the planned activities are student-focused events such as Knights Got Talent on October 13 at Memory Mall, Movie Knight featuring Superman on October 14 at the Pegasus Ballroom, and Comedy Knight with comedian Karlous Miller on October 15 at Addition Financial Arena. Comedy Knight is free for current UCF students; tickets for non-students can be purchased through Ticketmaster.
A foam party titled Foam Splash will be held on October 14 at the Communication and Media Building Plaza at UCF Downtown. Concert Knight on October 16 will feature British girl group FLO and rapper SoFaygo at Addition Financial Arena. Both Comedy Knight and Concert Knight offer free admission to current students with a valid UCF ID, while public tickets are available for purchase.
The traditional Spirit Splash event returns on October 17 at the UCF Reflecting Pond. Students can participate in running into the pond to catch homecoming ducks and enjoy performances by university spirit groups. The same day also includes a women’s volleyball match against the University of Arizona at The Venue.
Ignite the Knight is set for October 17 at Memory Mall, offering live music, carnival games, food options, and a fireworks display depending on weather conditions.
On October 18, UCF’s football team will play against West Virginia Mountaineers at Acrisure Bounce House stadium. Tickets can be obtained through Ticketmaster or by contacting the UCF Athletics Ticket Office.
Alumni-specific events include the Shining Knights Alumni Awards Reception on October 16 in Pegasus Ballroom to honor outstanding alumni and community leaders. Ignite the Knight also serves as an opportunity for alumni to gather ahead of the football game.
Additional alumni gatherings include tailgates hosted by both UCF Alumni and UCF Black Alumni Community three hours before kickoff on game day at FAIRWINDS Alumni Center. Regional watch parties are planned for those unable to attend in person.
The festivities conclude with Trick or Treat on Greek Street on October 19 along Greek Park Drive—a family-friendly Halloween-themed event open to all members of the Central Florida community. Registration is required only for adults attending with children; registered Greek alumni have a chance to win prizes.
