Week Four of the HBCU football season is bringing the heat, and HBCU GO has the cameras rolling for two of the fiercest rivalries on the schedule. From Daytona Beach to Washington, D.C., fans will get back-to-back classics that showcase the pride, tradition, and intensity that define HBCU football.
The action kicks off Saturday afternoon at Daytona Stadium, where Edward Waters squares off against Bethune-Cookman in a matchup that always delivers fireworks. TheGrio cable network will carry the game live, with Derrin Horton, Jon Kelley, and Lawrencia Moten on the call to capture every touchdown, every big hit, and the unique pageantry that makes this rivalry so special.
Then, just as the sun sets, all eyes turn to the nation’s capital for the P&G Truth and Service Classic at Audi Field. This year’s showdown between Hampton and Howard is set to light up Washington, D.C., as the Bison and Pirates renew a battle rooted in decades of tradition and bragging rights. The game airs on HBCUGO.tv and across local broadcast stations, with James Hadnot, Steve Wyche, and Nia Symone bringing the sights, sounds, and storylines to life from the sidelines to the end zones.
