The Orange Blossom Classic is an American college football game that was first held between 1933 and 1978 and resumed in 2021. It is an annual early-season contest primarily featuring historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), with Florida A&M and Jackson State as the main participants. The game has historically served as a de facto championship game depending on the teams' records, and it is played late in the college football season. Since its revival in 2021, the Classic has continued as a seasonal matchup between Florida A&M and Jackson State, with the 2025 game being the latest. The game takes place at the start of the college football season, showcasing prominent HBCU programs and their athletes in a competitive setting. The show features analysts and commentators, including Jay J. Walker as an analyst and Tiffany Greene providing play-by-play commentary.
