The Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association announces its broadcast lineup for the upcoming 2024 football season, featuring games on HBCU GO, a streaming service dedicated to Historically black colleges and universities, and the conference’s own CIAA Sports Network.

HBCU GO will televise six CIAA games live, including the season’s crown jewel — the 2024 CIAA Football Championship in Salem on Nov. 16.

The regular season coverage kicks off Sept. 21 with Winston-Salem State facing Virginia State. The schedule continues with four more key matchups:

Oct. 5: Fayetteville State hosts Bowie State for Military Appreciation Day

Oct. 19: Bluefield State visits Bowie State

Oct. 26: Johnson C. Smith travels to Winston-Salem State

Nov. 9: Defending champion Virginia Union takes on archrival Virginia State

All regular season games on HBCU GO are slated for 1 p.m. kickoffs. 

The championship game, set for a 3 p.m. start Nov. 16 at Salem Stadium, will feature the top two regular season finishers.

Football fans won’t miss any action, as every conference game will also be available on the CIAA Sports Network. Local broadcast information will be released later.
