The 2026 HBCU GO football TV schedule has been announced, which features 13 games set for broadcast.
HBCU GO is a free-streaming digital platform from Allen Media Group (AMG), the leading provider for the nation’s 107 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). HBCU GO programming is available at HBCUGO.tv and via Roku, Apple TV, and Amazon Fire TV devices, as well as certain CBS owned-and-operated stations.
“HBCU GO is on a mission to give Black college sports the global stage it deserves, and this season we’re doing exactly that,” said Byron Allen, Founder/Chairman/CEO of Allen Media Group. “With expanded distribution, we are bringing the pageantry, the rivalries, and the pure excellence of HBCU football into millions of living rooms across America — for free.”
“This schedule speaks for itself—from the Southern Heritage Classic to the Truth & Service Classic in Washington, D.C., where Howard and Hampton meet in the latest chapter of their ‘Real HU’ rivalry, to homecoming weekends across the country, every week delivers something unforgettable. The culture is calling, and we’re here to answer. HBCU football is more than a game, it’s a shared experience rooted in tradition, pride, and community, brought to life every Saturday. With expanded distribution, we’re reaching a much bigger audience, making year five our strongest season yet,” said Curtis Symonds, President of HBCU GO.
