Army-Navy Game Future Locations: Where Is the Next Matchup?

In this story:
One of the most historic rivalries in college football takes the gridiron again this weekend.
The 126th edition of the annual Army-Navy game takes place Saturday at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Md., marking the official end of the 2025 college football regular season.
Army, coming off an AAC championship last season, has stumbled a bit in 2025 and enters the matchup against Navy with a 6–5 record. The Midshipmen, meanwhile, have been ranked as high as No. 22 in the AP Top 25 this season and are 9–2 under coach Brian Newberry.
While Navy leads the all-time series 63–55–7 and beat the Black Knights 31–13 last year, Army has won six of the last nine matchups.
History of the Army-Navy game
The first interservice rivalry meeting occurred on Nov. 29, 1890, a game won by the Midshipmen 24–0. There has been an Army-Navy game every year since 1930 at 19 different venues all across the country, ranging from Philadelphia to New York City to Pasadena, Calif.
The now-demolished John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia held the most Army-Navy games with 41 from 1936 to '79. Franklin Field, the oldest operating college football stadium in the country and former home to the Philadelphia Eagles, is second with 18, followed by Veterans Stadium (17) and Lincoln Financial Field (14).
In 2024, the Army-Navy game was hosted at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Md., for the first time since 2011, with the Midshipmen walking away with a 31–13 win.
