The annual Magic City Classic football game between Alabama State University and Alabama A&M University has been postponed until spring following concerns related to the COVID-19 global pandemic.

The Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) recently announced the postponement of all scheduled fall contests, along with SWAC championships and the classic, which normally is held every October at Legion Field in Birmingham and ranks as one of the top Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) rivalries.

The 2020 Classic had been set for Oct. 31. This year is the first time the classic will not be played since 1943 and 1944, during the height of World War II.
