The Bank of America Atlanta Football Classic was an annual football classic game between two historically black colleges and universities. The game has since been replaced by the Celebration Bowl HBCU championship game.

History[]

The game has been played annually in Atlanta, for its first three years at Grant Field, and at the Georgia Dome since 1992.

Coverage[]

Versus/NBCSN broadcast the game from 2008 to 2012. Because the two participants in the 2013 and 2014 contests are both part of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, to which ESPN held broadcast rights, ESPN broadcast the game on its online outlet, ESPN3.
