The Army-Navy Game is more than a football game. It is the one afternoon each year when the Black Knights of West Point and the Midshipmen of Annapolis meet as rivals, knowing that after graduation they will serve side by side.
The 2026 game kicks off at 3:00 PM ET on Saturday, December 12, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and airs on CBS. Before kickoff the full Corps of Cadets and Brigade of Midshipmen march onto the field, and there are flyovers and traditions you will not see at any other game.
At the end, both teams stand together for both alma maters, and that moment says everything about what this rivalry means.
Veterans, service members and military families pack the stands and fill watch parties across the country. If you can make it to the stadium, go. If not, gather your crew and watch it together.
