UConn Parade 2025 Route, Date, Time, TV Schedule, Live Stream and More

UConn fans will have their chance to celebrate the national champion Huskies on Saturday when the team parades through Hartford, Connecticut.

Gov. Ned Lamont announced the details for the festivities, which will start outside of the state capitol building at 11 a.m. ET. and conclude at XL Center for a rally at around 11:30 a.m.

Local fans will have to check television listings for a broadcast and live stream of the event.

This is the third straight year in which Hartford is hosting an all-conquering UConn squad after the men's team went back to back in 2023 and 2024.

That's unlikely to dampen the enthusiasm.

The nine-year gap since the last time the Huskies won the women's tournament will have felt much longer for their fanbase.

Sunday's 82-59 victory over South Carolina carried some historic significance, too, as it was the crowning moment for star guard Paige Bueckers. No longer does Bueckers have to carry the distinction of being perhaps the best UConn player never to win a title.

Rest assured head coach Geno Auriemma will only let his players bask in their success for so long before the focus will shift to the title defense.

Guard Azzi Fudd and forward Sarah Strong headline the group that's returning in 2025-26, and Strong will be among the early contenders in the national player of the year conversation.

The 6'2" freshman averaged 16.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 1.7 blocks, and she dominated South Carolina to the tune of 24 points and 15 boards.

Bueckers' career is a prime example of how team success isn't guaranteed, but this week may not be the only time Strong is standing on a stage in Hartford with the championship trophy.
