The 12th Army-Navy game will get a special visit from one of ESPN's most popular shows.
On Saturday, the network announced that "College GameDay" will travel to MetLife Stadium on Dec. 12 for this year's Army-Navy game. This will be the 10th time the show has appeared at "America's Game" and the first time since 2023, when the game was played in Foxborough, Mass.
"College GameDay's" previous Army-Navy stops include East Rutherford, N.J. (2021); West Point, N.Y. (2020); Philadelphia (2015, 2017-19); and Baltimore (2014, 2016). Coverage for this year's game will start at 10 a.m. ET.

Last year, the Army-Navy game was played in Baltimore, and Navy won 17-16. It was the Midshipmen's 10th win of the year, and they finished the season 11-3.
The Army-Navy game will be a little different next year. Instead of the game being played in the second week of December, it has been pushed up a week so it won't interfere with the expanded College Football Playoff.

2027 Army-Navy Game Will Be Played Earlier
“As long as the integrity of that game and exclusive rights for that window are good for us, I’m good with it,” Navy head coach Brian Newberry told reporters this week, per the Associated Press. “Everybody knows how important that game is. But to maintain that exclusive window, to honor that game the way it should be honored, I’m really pleased with that.”
“It means a lot to college football and to our country,” Army coach Jeff Monken said Tuesday. “I’m just curious to see how it goes as we move forward. Will all the weekends in December start to get captured by the playoff? There’s a lot of competition for TV time, and certainly the Army-Navy game is a huge game, and we appreciate the opportunity to have a standalone date for that.”
Army is currently 5-4 and 4-2 in the American Conference. Monken has been the head coach of the Black Knights since 2014 and was named the conference's coach of the year in 2024 after leading the program to a 12-2 record. Monken was the head coach at Georgia Southern (2010-2013) before joining Navy.
Navy is currently 3-6 and 2-4 in the American Conference. Newberry is in his fourth season as the head coach and led the program to 10-plus-win seasons in 2024 (10-3) and 2025 (11-2). Newberry has been with Navy since 2019 and was the defensive coordinator before becoming head coach.
