The much-anticipated 126th meeting between the Army Black Knights and the Navy Midshipmen is set to kick off today at 3 p.m. ET at Baltimore’s M&T Bank Stadium. This historic rivalry game is more than just a football contest—it’s a tradition steeped in over a century of fierce competition and mutual respect between two of the nation’s military academies. Fans nationwide are gearing up for a thrilling battle, and we bring you the latest score updates, highlights, and key moments as they unfold.
A Storied History of Rivalry
The Army-Navy game boasts a rich legacy that spans 135 years. Navy currently leads the series with a narrow edge of 63 wins to Army’s 55, along with seven ties. The games have showcased some memorable clashes in Baltimore, including decisive Army victories in 1924 and 1944, and notable Navy wins in 2000, 2007, and 2014. The rivalry is more than just numbers; it represents the pride and spirit of two proud institutions.
Recent Trends and Coaching Impact
This rivalry took an interesting turn under Army head coach Jeff Monken, who surprisingly spent six years as an assistant coach at Navy early in his career. Monken has been credited with transforming Army’s football program over the past decade, but his early years were marked by tough losses to Navy, including narrow defeats in 2014 and 2015. The 2016 season marked the turning point when Army finally broke Navy’s 14-game winning streak with a hard-fought 21-17 victory in Baltimore. Monken called that win "a memorable moment" that energized the program and its supporters.
This Season’s Outlook
As the 2025 season draws to a close, Navy enters today’s game with a strong 9-2 record overall and a commanding 7-1 mark in the American Conference. The Midshipmen’s explosive offense and solid defense make them formidable opponents.
Army, meanwhile, holds a 6-5 record (4-4 in conference play) and has shown resilience throughout the season. With key players returning from injury, the Black Knights aim to secure a victory and continue building momentum ahead of their upcoming bowl game against Connecticut.
