The Army Black Knights and the Navy Midshipmen will face off against one another on Saturday for the 125th rendition of the Army-Navy game, but this year’s matchup is surrounded by a lot of buzz – both because of its attendees and because of what’s at stake. 

For the first time ever, both programs enter the game with a combined total of 19 wins. With Army playing in the American Athletic Conference this season, both teams have spent time in the Top 25. This will be their first meeting this season and will be a nonconference game.

Outside of the bragging rights for their respective military academies, this year’s game marks the first time since 2017 that the winner will have a chance to secure the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy, thanks to wins by Army and Navy over Air Force this season. It also marks the first time since 2017 that both teams enter the matchup having secured bowl games. 

Army won its first conference title earlier this month
