We are the home of this year’s 41st Annual Midwest HBCU Football Game and so much more! Join us for a showcase of historically black colleges and universities, including a variety of events leading up to the game. From the Circle City Classic® Coronation to the Education Day, to the Talent Day Career Fair, it’s going to be another great year!
The Circle City Classic® is one of the oldest HBCU games in the country. The 2025 matchup features the Morgan State University Bears and the Miles College Golden Bears.
The Circle City Classic® Celebration is about so much more than football. As part of IBE’s mission to serve and empower Indiana communities, each year, Circle City Classic® includes education, career, and cultural-focused events that complement the HBCU football matchup.
Since 1984, Indiana Black Expo has hosted Circle City Classic®, a unique showcase of HBCUs, academic excellence, culture, music, and tradition. Circle City Classic® is a scholarship fundraiser that has helped IBE award over $5 million in scholarships to deserving youth attending colleges and universities nationwide. Over this same span, Circle City Classic® has contributed more than $340 million dollars to the Indianapolis economy.
Join our community and become a sponsor of Circle City Classic®.
