This is a list of recent black college football classics that have taken place between historically black colleges and universities that compete in college football in the United States. Unlike bowl games, classics take place during college football's regular season; they differ from standard regular season games in that they are often accompanied by entertaining battle of the bands, parades, social events, concerts, and are often played at neutral sites. Football classics annually attract large crowds of alumni, fans, and spectators, along with high media interest and corporate sponsorships.
