2026 Theme
One Tide. Endless Tradition. Forever on the Rise.
Involvement
Homecoming is an opportunity for current students and our community to be involved in a variety of festivities. Whether you are a student, student org, alum, community partner or business, there’s a way for you to connect to UA Homecoming!
Spirit Competitions
During the course of Homecoming week, the UA Homecoming Board will award The Kathleen Cramer Cup and the Tide Trophy awards to winners of our two distinct competition divisions involving a variety of activities and events. Join us this year as we celebrate student teams who show incredible grit and passion!
The Crimson Division is open to any student organization or group of student organizations at UA. Teams participate in 10 or more events. The top team will be awarded The Kathleen Cramer Cup at halftime of the Homecoming game.
The Tide Division does not require membership in a student organization and is ideal for groups of students who wish to compete in fewer events. The top team will be awarded The Tide Trophy at the Pep Rally on Friday evening of Homecoming week.
