Due to unforeseen circumstances and issues beyond our control with the Georgia Football Classic organizers, the October 4, 2025, football game between Mississippi Valley State University and Florida A&M University will no longer be held at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

We value the opportunity to provide a quality experience, so every effort was made to make this event happen. We regret that no viable option was available on short notice. As Mississippi Valley State is the designated home team, the decision has been made to postpone the game and play at Rice-Totten Stadium in Itta Bena, Mississippi, on Saturday, November 29, 2025, at 2 p.m.

We regret the impact this unexpected change will have on our fans, and we will make every effort to provide a quality game-day experience during the rescheduled competition date. While this outcome is disappointing for our fans and community, our focus remains on upholding the standards and integrity of our athletics programs. 

MVSU and FAMU remain committed to excellence on and off the field, and we will continue to provide our student-athletes and supporters with competitive and high-quality experiences.

Information regarding tickets will be forthcoming on MVSU's Athletics website.
