History

One of the greatest rivalries in college football has called Philadelphia its home for the majority of its history. The fiercely competitive Army-Navy game has been played in Philadelphia for 81 of its 109 years.The current series standing is remarkably even: Navy has 53 wins; Army has 49 wins, while seven games have ended in ties.

As a neutral site conveniently located between the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, New York and the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, Philadelphia was an easy choice for the Army-Navy game, which the city now enjoys as its unofficial bowl game. Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field has hosted the Army-Navy game every year since 2006, except 2007.
