Lincoln University of Missouri / Homecoming 2026
160 YEARS. BLUE TIGERS HOME.
Lincoln Missouri's September 20-26 homecoming joined a 160th-anniversary return, scholarship support and a 34-32 win over Upper Iowa. The official parade recording keeps the celebration accessible.
A return to the Hill in Jefferson City
Lincoln University of Missouri's October 8 retrospective dates its 2026 homecoming to September 20-26, during the university's 160th anniversary. Its completed-week coverage includes the Divine Nine Greek Serenade, the community ice cream social, the scholarship soiree, downtown parade and alumni tailgate.
The return also carried a student-support purpose. The university reported that Hardy K. Dorsey Sr. pledged $20,000 to the inaugural Blue Tiger Challenge. The original campus report and official parade recording preserve the Missouri celebration, clearly distinguished here from Lincoln University in Pennsylvania.

A two-point finish, checked against both teams
Lincoln Missouri defeated Upper Iowa 34-32 in the September 26 homecoming game. Antwon McKay Jr. threw four touchdown passes, and the Blue Tigers stopped an Upper Iowa two-point attempt that would have tied the score.
Score verification: the campus wrap-up prints 34-23, but Lincoln's official athletics report and Upper Iowa's inspected report both establish 34-32. This recap uses the corroborated final and leaves out individual yard totals that disagree between prose and tables.
