Big news for Jackson State football fans! Two of the Tigers' 2026 games have locked in their broadcast home, and they'll be streaming on HBCUGO TV, a free digital platform dedicated to HBCU athletics.

Mark your calendars for Sept. 5, when JSU takes on Edward Waters in the HOPE Labor Day Classic at Veterans Memorial Stadium. This isn't just any game—it's the Tigers' home opener and only the second all-time meeting between these two programs. Then, on Nov. 7, the Tigers face Mississippi Valley State in their final home game of the season. JSU has dominated this rivalry, winning the last 11 matchups, including a decisive 42-3 victory last year in Itta Bena.

HBCUGO TV is a free streaming network that covers HBCU sports at the NCAA Division I and II levels. You can catch the action on Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, the HBCU GO app, or at hbcugo.tv. Last season, four Jackson State games—against Hampton, Alabama A&M, Grambling State, and Bethune-Cookman—aired on the platform, so this partnership is heating up.
