The 2026 Michigan football season is here — and so are our watch parties! Together, let’s turn every Saturday into a true home-field advantage and make our venue feel like being in the Big House.
Whether you were part of the action last year or are joining us for the first time, we want to celebrate another unforgettable season with you. All events are free and open to alums, friends, and fans. Be sure to check kickoff times before each game you plan to attend.
Please register separately for each game and venue. Advance registration helps us anticipate staffing and space needs, ensuring we provide the best possible game-day experience. This is especially important when our watch parties overlap with those hosted by other schools.
Registration does not commit you to attending. Walk-ins are encouraged and welcome, as long as you are wearing maize and blue! Registering in advance does not guarantee you a seat or table. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. You may want to check if the venue takes reservations.

Virtual Event – Click Here for Overview and Registration
Former Michigan football player and TEDx speaker Marc Ramirez tackled type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and lost weight with a plant-based lifestyle—no more insulin shots or metformin! He and his wife, Kim, were so thrilled with his results they founded the nonprofit Chickpea and Bean to teach others about the power of food. Join us to hear the whole story, straight from these inspiring Wolverines who are featured in the upcoming documentary “Reversing Diabetes” from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.
FREE BOOK GIVEAWAY!

We Need Your Maize and Blue Help!!
Did you know that have 2200+ Michigan alums living in the Sacramento area? With the resurgence of a group of alumni volunteers that are committed to creating events in our area that engage alums, help us build our networks, and share our passion for the Best University in the World, we are asking for your help.
Please add yourself to our social channels and continue to watch for more events coming your way.
We are looking for a volunteer to launch and run our Alumni Club Instagram account for local alumni. This is a chance to help us grow a meaningful community, spotlight alumni stories and events, expand your creative portfolio, and make a real impact. If you love creating engaging content and building connections online, we’d love to have you lead the way. This role can be flexible and can be entirely remote. If you are interested, send an email to our club president, [email protected]
