Wait—Texas Tech Lost How Many Homecoming Games Since 2000?

It's Homecoming Week, you know what that means. No, not awkward teenagers asking each other out to dance. I'm talking about college football—the Texas Tech Red Raiders, to be exact.

In fact, I was curious and did some digging into Tech's history with homecoming matchups, and, as they say: "the answer may surprise you."

Texas Tech Homecoming 2026

Before we get to the past, we need to address the present. Texas Tech's 2026 Homecoming game is slated for this Saturday against Arizona State. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. at Galaxy Stadium.

Actually, if you're a Tech student, this entire week leading up to the game is filled with events, concerts, and more. We can't forget about the Goo Goo Dolls and Bowling for Soup performing live on Friday at Urbanovsky Park, which is open to the public, by the way.

You can find more details about the live concert here.

Now, let's see how the Red Raiders have done during each Homecoming Game in the 21st century.
