Army-Navy game future locations: Every matchup site announced
By Scott Rogust
The college football regular season reached its conclusion, and bowl game matchups were confirmed. With that, there is going to be a bit of a wait to watch those games. But on the weekend after the conference championship games, there is one historic matchup that fans will be able to watch.
On Saturday, Dec. 14, the 125th edition of the Army-Navy Game takes place at 3:00 p.m. ET. They will face off at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Md., home of the NFL's Washington Commanders.
This season, Army and Navy had successful campaigns. Army just won their first-ever conference championship in football after they defeated the Tulane Green Wave in the AAC. However, they fell short of qualifying for the College Football Playoff, and will instead face the Marshall Thundering Herd in the Independence Bowl. As for Navy, they went 8-3 on the year, and are set to take on the Oklahoma Sooners in the Armed Forces Bowl.
The Army-Navy Game isn't held at one venue. Instead, it usually travels across stadiums located in the northeast United States. This year, it's will be in the Washington, D.C. area. Taking that into consideration, where can fans expect to see the Army-Navy Game be held in the future? Well, we have that information for you below.
