The 51st annual Bayou Classic takes place this Saturday, November 30 as the Grambling State Tigers and Southern University Jaguars renew their storied rivalry. The game will take place at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. Live coverage begins at 2:00 PM ET on NBC and Peacock. See below to find out more information on how to watch and live stream the Grambling vs Southern game.
While the matchup itself dates back almost 100 years, the two teams have been meeting annually in the form of the Bayou Classic for the last 51 years. Since that first Classic in 1974, Southern holds a 26-24 edge in the series, with wins in five of the last six games.
The Grambling State Tigers enter Saturday’s matchup with redemption on their minds: redemption for their 22-17 loss to Alabama A&M on November 14 and redemption for losing the Bayou Classic for two straight years. With Saturday’s game being their season finale, the Tigers — under Mickey Joseph, in his first year as head coach of the program — are on the verge of securing their first 6-win season since 2019, putting an end to their 5-season losing streak.
The Southern University Jaguars are coming off a 31-9 win against Arkansas-Pine Bluff, clinching the SWAC West and securing their spot in the SWAC Championship game on December 7.
The Bayou Classic is more than just a football game—it’s a celebration of culture and HBCU history. There is no better demonstration of that than the annual Battle of the Bands and Greek Show. The Grambling State University Tiger Marching Band will go head-to-head with Southern University’s Human Jukebox on Friday, November 29. Both bands will also perform during halftime on Saturday.
