College football fans nationwide can tune in to the inaugural Las Vegas HBCU Classic without missing a snap. On Saturday, October 25, 2025, at 6:00 PM ET, Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas will host a milestone in HBCU athletics when Grambling State University and Jackson State University clash in the Las Vegas HBCU Classic. Allen Media Group’s free-streaming service, HBCU GO, will host the inaugural event between two programs whose rivalry has defined the spirit and pageantry of HBCU football for decades.
Allen Media Group’s founder and CEO, Byron Allen, has long championed the visibility of Historically Black Colleges and Universities. With HBCU GO named the official broadcast and streaming partner of this classic showdown, every tackle, touchdown, and triumphant band performance will be available live. For the first time, viewers will experience HBCU GO’s broadcast emanating from Las Vegas, showcasing unique traditions that set HBCU football apart, including performances from the Grambling State University “World Famed” Tiger Marching Band and the Jackson State University “Sonic Boom of the South” at halftime.
HBCU GO’s coverage will go beyond offering just play-by-play commentary, with pre-game segments will delve into the season’s storylines, insight on players and coaches from both teams, analysts breaking down key matchups, and a lookback at each HBCU’s history on the gridiron. Once the final horn sounds, HBCU GO’s coverage continues with post-game commentary.
“HBCU sports consistently delivers some of the world’s best athletes and competition available,” Byron Allen said in a statement. In a college football landscape where high-profile conferences often dominate the conversation, the Las Vegas HBCU Classic will remind viewers why HBCU programs have produced so many legends, from Pro Football Hall of Famers to Grammy Award–winning musicians.
In partnership with the Las Vegas Raiders and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, AMG streaming this classic free on HBCU GO underscores a growing recognition of HBCU athletics on a national platform and gives viewers across the country access without a paywall.
