MONTGOMERY, Ala. —Sports network ESPN announced its college football television schedule for 2023 season, including the Red Tails Classic at Cramton Bowl.

The Red Tails classic is scheduled to be televised nationally from Montgomery on September 3rd.  The game honors the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen while celebrating the historical tradition of HBCU classic football games. Tuskegee’s Golden Tigers will face off against Fort Valley State’s Wildcats at 6 pm, and available on ESPNU. Tuskegee and Fort Valley are considered rivals within the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC).

“As the host city for the FCS Kickoff, Boeing Red Tails Classic and the Camellia Bowl, we have implemented a strategy that will help us not only welcome players and fans but offer an exceptional gameday experience.”

—Mayor Steven L. Reed

The relationship between ESPN and the city of Montgomery for this classic continues to blossom with things starting in 2021 to more than 24,000 fans in attendance —during the pandemic. That inaugural game scored the highest viewership ratings for primetime Wednesday Night Football within a decade. Montgomery Mayor Steven L. Reed adds, “As the host city for the FCS Kickoff, Boeing Red Tails Classic and the Camellia Bowl, we have implemented a strategy that will help us not only welcome players and fans but offer an exceptional game day experience.”

Montgomery will be a busy football city the extended Labor Day holiday weekend with Alabama State welcoming SWAC foe Southern University on campus at 5 pm Saturday, September 2nd.
