The highly anticipated 125th meeting between the Army Black Knights and the Navy Midshipmen is just days away, and USAA has announced it will continue its role as the presenting sponsor for an additional five years, extending from the conclusion of its current contract. This renewal underscores USAA’s enduring dedication to honoring and supporting the members of the U.S. Armed Forces.

While they compete fiercely on the field, they unite in the common mission of defending our nation. USAA’s involvement transcends the game itself; it serves to celebrate these courageous individuals and their service.”
The current sponsorship, which concludes in 2025, is set to be extended through 2030. The new agreement will introduce various initiatives aimed at enriching the game-day experience for fans and participants globally, including special events, promotional activities, and community outreach efforts.
