The Army-Navy Game is one of the most storied and enduring rivalries in American college football, played annually between the United States Military Academy (Army) and the United States Naval Academy (Navy). First contested in 1890, the game has become an iconic event, symbolizing the fierce yet respectful competition between two of the nation’s most prestigious military academies.
Typically held in early December, the Army-Navy Game is the final regular-season game for both teams and is known for its unique pageantry, with marching cadets and midshipmen from both schools playing a central role in the pre-game and halftime ceremonies.
The Army-Navy Game is about more than football—it represents the values of service, sacrifice, and patriotism, with many of the players going on to serve their country in the military.
Despite its significance as a sporting event, the rivalry is rooted in mutual respect and camaraderie. The game has become a must-watch event, with millions of viewers tuning in, regardless of whether they follow college football throughout the season.
