Army Releases 2026 Schedule: Six Michie Home Games, Navy at MetLife

Army West Point announced a 2026 football slate that includes six home games at historic Michie Stadium and the 127th Army‑Navy Game scheduled for Dec. 12 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ with kickoff at 3 p.m. on CBS. The schedule was posted to GoArmyWestPoint and published by the Times Herald‑Record/RecordOnline on Feb. 26, 2026.

GoArmyWestPoint’s posted table shows the six Michie Stadium home dates in BOLD CAPS as BRYANT on Sept. 5, SOUTH FLORIDA on Sept. 12, TULANE on Oct. 10, FLORIDA ATLANTIC on Oct. 17, AIR FORCE on Nov. 7, and EAST CAROLINA on Nov. 21. The site legend reads, "BOLD CAPS | Home Game at Michie Stadium" and marks the Army‑Navy entry with the notation "+ 127th Army‑Navy Game presented by USAA – MetLife Stadium (East Rutherford, NJ)."

The full schedule as posted lists an early bye on Sept. 19 and a second bye on Nov. 14. Road dates include at Temple on Sept. 26, at Louisiana Tech on Oct. 3, at Tulsa on Oct. 23, at Memphis on Oct. 31, and at Rice on Nov. 28. The Oct. 23 trip to Tulsa is already listed with "TBD / ESPN platforms" while most other dates remain "TBD" for time and TV in the GoArmyWestPoint table.

Army communications and AAC material included a broad media and timing timeline for the season. The release includes this explicit guidance: "The AAC expects to release the second phase of the schedule at the end of May, which will include broadcast and kick-time information for most non-Saturday games and the first three weeks of the season. Around this time, Army is expected to be able to announce its home game kick-off times on CBSSN as well. Army football will continue its TV rights partnership with CBS Sports Network through 2028, as the exclusive home for Army’s home game schedule. Road contest kick-off times and TV Networks at UAB, Tulane, and UTSA will be announced as a part of the 12-day weekly process leading up to those games. The AAC features a flexible Week 14 schedule to close the regular season. Army at UTSA will be played on Friday, November 28, or Saturday, November 29. That selection will be made by Oct. 13."

The posted schedule also identifies the American Athletic Conference Championship on Sat., Dec. 5 as "American Championship Game (#1 vs. #2, hosted on #1 seed campus) | TBD / ABC." The schedule lists NAVY on Sat., Dec. 12 as "NAVY + | 3 p.m. / CBS" with the legend indicating the game will be played at MetLife Stadium and presented by USAA.

There is one scheduling discrepancy to watch: GoArmyWestPoint’s table shows Army at Rice on Nov. 28, while AAC material included in the release calls out the conference's flexible Week 14 and specifically references Army at UTSA as potentially moving between Nov. 28 and Nov. 29. That mismatch will require clarification when the AAC issues its second-phase release at the end of May.

Michie Stadium sits on the U.S. Military Academy campus in West Point, Orange County, and related institutional pages linked in the schedule posting reference West Point Association of Graduates contact details at 698 Mills Road, West Point, NY 10996 and phone 845.446.1500. The Army schedule posting and AAC timing timeline set a clear calendar for the next rollout of kickoff times and television windows, which the academy and conference say will arrive with the second phase at the end of May.
