One of the oldest and most played rivalry games, the upcoming Army-Navy clash marks the 124th time the two teams have met since their first clash in 1890. 

It’s going to be an action-packed game between the US military and US naval academies for the first time in Massachusetts! This game will be the third time the teams face each other outside the mid-Atlantic area. If you’re as excited as everyone else, here’s all you need to know about the upcoming 2023 Army-Navy game.

The hype behind the Army-Navy rivalry game

The Army-Navy game, also called ‘America’s Game,’ is a highly popular rivalry game that has been nationally televised each year on either CBS, ABC, or NBC since 1945. The Navy Midshipmen is the series winner leading with 62-54-7 boasting the largest victory (51-0 in 1973) and longest win streak (14 from 2002-2015). However, in their last game, they lost double overtime to the Black Knights 20-17 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. 

This year will mark the first time the game is played at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. With mutual agreement from both teams, they declared a five-year cycle of games in 2022. Both teams suffered an unsatisfactory season record losing their playoff chances as they’re set to enter this year’s rivalry game with 5-6 each. Army and Navy ranks 9th and 14th in the nation with 208.3 and 200.5 rushing yards per game.
