Football Saturdays Start Here 

Kick off every Temple football gameday with fellow alumni at the official Temple Fan Tailgate. Whether you’re heading to a home game, traveling to cheer on the Owls on the road or joining a local game watch, the Temple University Alumni Association helps you celebrate every touchdown with the Cherry and White community. 

From pregame festivities to postgame memories, we’ll help you make every Saturday unforgettable.

Football Event Information

Home Games and Temple Fan Tailgates

For the ultimate pregame experience, join us before home games for Temple Fan Tailgates in Lot K. Tailgates begin three hours before kickoff. We offer registration options for every fan.

Home Fan Tailgates

Fan Tailgates will be held in Lot K at Lincoln Financial Field for home football games and will be taken on the road for select away games.

Save on registration and save time by registering in advance! Registration closes two days prior to each tailgate unless a tailgate sells out beforehand.
