Army-Navy: A history of where the game has been played

Danny Wild-USA TODAY Sports

The Army Black Knights and the Navy Midshipmen have a rich history that dates back to 1890, the first meeting between the two respected service academies. Navy leads the all-time series with a 61–53–7 record following the 2020 edition.

For the most part, the game has been held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The one-time United States capital has often been the main neutral location for this Army-Navy game since 1899 because it’s sandwiched in-between West Point (N.Y.) and Annapolis (Md.). In fact, of the 121 time the academies have played, 89 of those games were in Philly.

In 2020, attendance limitations due to the COVID-19 pandemic led to the relocation of the game from Philadelphia to West Point. This was the first time the game took place at Army’s home stadium since 1943. The Black Knights have won four of the last five games against the Midshipmen following a 15-0 victory in 2020.
