June 15, 2022: The United States Military Academy and United States Naval Academy have unveiled sites for its annual Army-Navy Football Game presented by USSA for 2023-27.
The location of the Army-Navy game, which dates back to 1890, changes yearly and is played in neutral sites.
The 123rd Army-Navy game is scheduled for Dec. 10, 2022 in Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field.
After that, according to Naval Academy director of athletics Chet Gladchuk and Army West Point director of athletics Mike Buddie, the schedule now includes:
• Gillette Stadium Boston/Foxborough will host the game on Dec. 9, 2023.
• FedEx Field Washington, DC will host the game on Dec. 14, 2024.
• M&T Bank Stadium Baltimore will host the game on Dec. 13, 2025.
• MetLife Stadium New York City/East Rutherford, N.J. will host the game on Dec. 12, 2026.
• Lincoln Financial Field Philadelphia will host the game on Dec. 11, 2027.
All five games will be televised nationally by CBS.
This event generates more than $30 million in revenue for host sites, according to industry analysts.
This game marks the end of the college football regular season, with the winner awarded the Secretary's Trophy.
“Our destinations over the next five years provide the Academies with an opportunity to share the economic impact, history and tradition of Army-Navy with a number of communities in diverse geographic areas,” Gladchuk said via the Academy.
“We are certain that each location will present a uniquely accommodating experience for our fans and will make for an incredibly memorable event for our midshipmen and cadets.
In addition to USAA, presenting partners include Chevrolet, Duke Cannon and The Exchange.
“The promotional partnership we share with USAA clearly reinforced the enthusiastic interest in hosting the Army-Navy game by many of our nation's greatest cities,” said Gladchuk.
