MEAC/SWAC Challenge

The MEAC/SWAC Challenge is an annual historically black college college football game showcasing a team from the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) and a team from the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC). The series began in 2005 and initially paired the defending conference champions, although the selection process was broadened to include non-champions as well, in 2007. Entering 2021, the MEAC leads the series with 10 wins to the SWAC's four (along with a "no contest" game in 2016, and a cancellation in 2020). The Challenge is televised nationally on ESPN and is owned by ESPN Events. It is associated with the Labor Day weekend.
