A Friday night trip to Temple. Air Force back at West Point. And the year closing at MetLife against Navy. That is the shape of the 2026 Army Football Schedule.
How the early slate looks
- Bryant and USF at home to open
- Bye on Sept. 19
- Friday night at Temple on Sept. 25
- Road trip to Louisiana Tech on Oct. 3
Army Black Knights football starts with two home dates at Michie Stadium. After that, the schedule turns quickly with a Friday night road game in Philadelphia. A long trip to Ruston then follows before the Black Knights return home.
Midseason stretch
- Tulane at home
- Florida Atlantic at home
- Friday night at Tulsa (8:30 p.m. ET)
- Road game at Memphis
Those two home dates give the roster a short reset. From there, the Army AAC schedule sends the team on the road for two straight games, including a late kickoff in Tulsa.
Rivalry games and the finish
- Air Force at Michie Stadium on Nov. 7 (7:30 p.m. ET on CBS)
- East Carolina at home
- Road trip to Rice
- American Championship on Dec. 5 if Army qualifies
- Army vs Navy 2026 at MetLife Stadium on Dec. 12
The Air Force game is the biggest home date of the year outside of the Navy finale. A bye on Nov. 14 then gives the team time to prepare for the closing stretch. America’s Game still closes the season the way it always does, no matter the records.
