JCSU vs. Virginia State — Military/Camo & Senior Day

Johnson C. Smith University closes out its 2026 home schedule against CIAA rival Virginia State at Irwin Belk Complex in Charlotte. The matchup doubles as Military/Camo Day, honoring service members, and Senior Day, celebrating the graduating Golden Bulls. Fans are encouraged to wear camouflage as part of the themed celebration. Falling on Halloween, this rivalry game marks the last chance to catch the Golden Bulls at home in 2026, a fitting close to Charlotte's Black October. Kickoff is at 1 p.m. On-campus parking is limited, so rideshare is recommended. The game suits HBCU alumni, veterans, and football fans looking to send off the season together.
