Prime‑time clash with Air Force
The Army Black Knights have released their 2026 football slate, confirming start times and broadcast partners for nine of the twelve contests. The lineup promises a heavy dose of prime‑time action, with several games slated for evening slots on major networks.
The centerpiece is the service‑academy showdown against Air Force, scheduled for Saturday, November 7, at 7:30 p.m. ET at Michie Stadium. CBS will broadcast the game in prime time, underscoring the rivalry’s national appeal.
Other notable dates include a Friday night visit to Tulsa on October 23, which will air on ESPN2 at 8:30 p.m. ET, and a home game against Temple on September 25, slated for a 4 p.m. start on ESPN.
The annual Army‑Navy game is set for December 12 at 3 p.m. ET in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and will also be shown on CBS. If the Black Knights secure a second American Conference title, that championship game would move to an 8 p.m. Saturday slot on ABC, December 5.
Three contests still lack designated networks and kickoff times, but the league expects to finalize those details within a 12‑day window. Last season, Army opened with three night games, a pattern that the new schedule continues to emphasize.
