The highly anticipated 125th meeting between the Army Black Knights and the Navy Midshipmen is approaching, and USAA has announced a five-year extension of its sponsorship as the presenting partner of this iconic college football game. This new agreement extends USAA’s commitment to the game through 2030, highlighting the organization’s dedication to honoring the service of U.S. Armed Forces members.
Wayne Peacock, USAA’s president and CEO, emphasized the significance of the Army-Navy Game, known for its rich tradition and intense rivalry. He stated, “These two teams are rivals on the field, but in the end, they are one team in defending our great nation.” USAA’s involvement with the game transcends mere sponsorship; it’s a tribute to the bravery and sacrifices made by military personnel.
The extension means that fans can look forward to many enhancements during the game-day experience, including special events, promotions, and community outreach efforts that will engage participants around the world. Chet Gladchuk, Director of Athletics at the Naval Academy, expressed gratitude for USAA’s ongoing support, labeling the partnership as integral to the celebration of what is often referred to as “America’s Game.” He noted USAA’s efforts have significantly enriched the experience for players, fans, and the communities involved.
Mike Buddie, Director of Athletics at the Military Academy, echoed this sentiment, saying, “USAA’s continued support of the Army-Navy game further exemplifies their unwavering commitment to our Academies and those who serve our country.”
The next Army-Navy Game is scheduled for December 13, 2025, at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, promising to be a memorable event as always. USAA, founded in 1922 and headquartered in San Antonio, continues to serve over 13.5 million military members, veterans, and their families, contributing significantly to both local and national communities.
This ongoing partnership not only highlights the sense of community surrounding the game but reinforces the importance of recognizing and honoring those who serve in the military. The extension of this sponsorship represents a hopeful commitment to fostering connections between military communities and the broader public.
In summary, the partnership between USAA and the Army-Navy Game continues to thrive, ensuring that the spirit of camaraderie and mutual respect is celebrated for years to come.
