LOS ANGELES, Calif. | The Alabama A&M University men's and women's basketball programs will receive national exposure as their Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) rivalry doubleheader at Alabama State on Saturday, Feb. 27, 2027, will be featured on HBCU GO, the league announced Wednesday.
 
The Bulldogs and Lady Bulldogs will visit the Hornets and Lady Hornets in Montgomery, Alabama, as part of HBCU GO's 20-game SWAC basketball broadcast schedule, which begins Jan. 2 and concludes March 4.
 
The highly anticipated rivalry doubleheader features two programs that produced competitive matchups during the 2025-26 season.
 
On the men's side, Alabama A&M and Alabama State split their two regular-season meetings, with the Bulldogs claiming a four-point victory in the first matchup before the Hornets responded with a one-point win in the rematch.
 
The Alabama A&M women's basketball team swept the season series against Alabama State, winning both contests by a combined 17 points.
 
Tip-off for the doubleheader is set for 12 p.m. from the Dunn-Oliver Acadome, with the women's game. The men are scheduled to follow at 2:30 p.m.
 
The February showdown will provide both Alabama A&M programs an opportunity to showcase their talent on a national platform while continuing one of the SWAC's traditional in-state rivalries.
