The annual Army-Navy football game will be moved up one week beginning in 2027 to avoid a scheduling conflict with the expanded College Football Playoff. The change was announced on November 9, 2026. The game traditionally takes place on the second Saturday of December; moving it up a week will place it on the first Saturday of December, ensuring it does not overlap with the new playoff format.
