HBCU GO SET TO BROADCAST TWO SEASON FINALES IN WEEK 13

HBCU GO will broadcast the season finale of two competitive Week 13 matchups and a celebration of a year that has elevated HBCU athletics onto an even greater national stage.

This season showcased the extraordinary depth, growth, and momentum across HBCU football programs nationwide. Teams across the SWAC, MEAC, CIAA, and SIAC demonstrated exceptional play, advanced coaching, and a competitive fire that has captured the attention of fans, alums, and sports audiences across the country.

With expanded distribution to 95 percent of television households and enhanced visibility across broadcast and streaming platforms, HBCU GO continues to play a pivotal role in amplifying the achievements of these programs and creating pathways for athletes to be seen, recognized, and celebrated.

This increased visibility not only amplified the on-field excellence but also reinforced the essential role media coverage plays in expanding opportunities, strengthening program support, and celebrating the rising influence of HBCU athletics on the national stage.

In addition, HBCU GO is proud to spotlight the elite student-athletes in contention for the 2025 HBCU GO Players of the Year Awards — honoring one exceptional offensive player and one dominant defensive force whose performance, leadership, and on-field impact elevated their programs throughout the season.

The 2025 HBCU GO Players of the Year recipients will be announced in December and featured across all HBCU GO platforms. Fans can tune in on HBCUGO.tv and follow HBCU GO's social channels for updates, highlights, and exclusive postseason content.

Viewers can join the action by tuning in for a special Selection Process Roundtable on Dec. 10, streaming exclusively on HBCUGO.tv.
