Where is Army-Navy game? Black Knights, Midshipmen will face off in Maryland in 2024

This weekend, one of the most hallowed fixtures of the college football calendar will take place.

Six days after the final College Football Playoff bracket was revealed, No. 18 Army will take on Navy Saturday in the annual game between the service academies. The stand-alone matchup will be the final regular-season game of the 2024 college football season.

The 125th all-time meeting between the historic rivals will carry more intrigue than usual, going beyond the game’s traditional pageantry.

Army coach Jeff Monken and the Black Knights are a top-20 team that improved to 11-1 last week after drubbing Tulane 35-14 to win the American Athletic Conference in their first season in the league. In their second season under coach Brian Newberry, the Midshipmen enter the game in a strong position as well, with an 8-3 record in a season in which Navy rose as high as No. 24 in the US LBM Coaches Poll.
