The city of Miami has always been known as a cultural hub where sports, music, and community come together. Few events capture that energy quite like the Orange Blossom Classic (OBC). Each year, the game brings together historic HBCU programs, passionate fanbases, and a weekend filled with unforgettable events. In 2025, the spotlight shines even brighter as Florida A&M University (FAMU) takes on Howard University at Hard Rock Stadium — and Remix Sports Media is proud to be on the ground covering all the action.

From the first whistle of the game to the lively events leading up to it, we’ll be giving fans an inside look at what makes the Orange Blossom Classic so special. Whether you’re tuning in for highlights, interviews, or cultural moments, our mission is to bring the essence of this Miami tradition directly to your screens.

The History of the Orange Blossom Classic

The Orange Blossom Classic isn’t just another college football matchup — it’s a celebration of HBCU pride and tradition. Founded in 1933, the game was originally played in Jacksonville before making Miami its home for decades. It quickly became known as the “Black College Championship Game,” drawing some of the most competitive HBCU programs and creating historic rivalries that extended far beyond the gridiron.

At its peak in the mid-20th century, the Classic would attract more than 50,000 fans annually, solidifying itself as one of the premier showcases of HBCU athletics. After a hiatus, the Orange Blossom Classic made a triumphant return in 2021, bringing back not just the game itself but the cultural and community events that surround it.

In 2025, with Howard University facing FAMU, the stakes are higher than ever. These two powerhouse programs are set to bring intensity, talent, and tradition back to Miami in front of thousands of fans.

More Than a Game: The Events Around the Classic

One of the unique aspects of the Orange Blossom Classic is the slate of ancillary events leading up to kickoff. This isn’t just a football game; it’s a full cultural experience that highlights the best of Miami and the HBCU community.

Community & Youth Engagement

Events like the Career Recruitment Fair and Career in Sports and Entertainment Symposium give young people opportunities to network, learn, and be inspired by industry leaders. These programs are designed to invest in the next generation while connecting students with real career paths.

The Commissioner’s Welcome Reception & Luncheon

This signature event brings together leaders from business, sports, and the community to honor the legacy of the Classic and chart its future. It reflects the unity and prestige of the game while offering a platform for networking.

Music, Parties, and Culture

No Miami event is complete without music and nightlife. The OBC VIP Mixer and other evening events showcase the vibrant cultural scene of South Florida. From DJs to live performances, these gatherings are as much a part of the OBC experience as the football game itself.

Tailgates and Game-Day Tradition

When game day arrives, Hard Rock Stadium transforms into a sea of orange, green, and blue. Fans from all over the country gather for pregame tailgates, alumni reunions, and of course, the show-stopping halftime performances from both marching bands.

Why the Orange Blossom Classic Matters

The OBC is more than just football — it’s a celebration of HBCU excellence, alumni pride, and cultural heritage. It creates a platform for Black colleges to shine on a national stage, while also giving back to the communities they serve.

Miami, with its rich cultural diversity, is the perfect host city. The event doesn’t just draw local fans; it attracts alumni and supporters from across the country, making it one of the most anticipated weekends on the HBCU calendar.

For many, the Orange Blossom Classic is also about representation. It’s about seeing HBCUs celebrated on a grand stage, where academics, athletics, and culture intersect. That’s why Remix Sports Media is committed to capturing the event in its full essence — so the stories go beyond the field and live on long after the final whistle.
