Jackson State and Alabama A&M play the ninth Gulf Coast Challenge at Ladd-Peebles Stadium, the marquee game of a week-long HBCU homecoming built around a fashion show, a parade, a gospel concert and Friday's HBCU Fest. The official FAQ confirms a 4:00 PM Central kickoff; the ticket page itself still reads "Coming in 2026" with no price posted.

- Kickoff is 4:00 PM build in extra time for stadium traffic downtown
- Consider the full Gulf Coast Challenge week: the parade, HBCU Fest and Gospel Explosion run the days before
