The 2026 Freedom Mortgage Military Bowl kicks off Monday, December 28, at 2 p.m. ET at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Maryland. The game matches teams from the ACC and the American Conference.
It is the first game played under the Freedom Mortgage Military Bowl name, after Freedom Mortgage signed on as title sponsor in 2026. The bowl is organized by the Military Bowl Foundation, whose mission benefits the nation's service members, including operating Patriot Point, a 294-acre retreat for recovering service members, their families and caregivers.
Game day caps Bowl Week. The teams stay and practice in Washington, D.C., while fans can join Military Bowl Eve and the gameday festivities in Annapolis. Tickets and the latest updates are on militarybowl.org.
