EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (November 14) – College GameDay Built by The Home Depot, ESPN's premier college football pregame show, will make its second visit to MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., for the 127th playing of the Army-Navy Game Presented by USAA on Saturday, Dec. 12, — the show's 10th all-time appearance at 'America's Game.' The two-hour live program will air from 10 a.m. to noon ET on ESPN and ESPNU, originating from outside MetLife Stadium in Lot J.
For Army, the ESPN program represents another moment in the national spotlight. Fox's Big Noon Kickoff and Fox NFL Sunday each visited the U.S. Military Academy campus on November 7 and November 8, respectively.
Army will be the first non-power conference team to be featured in Big Noon Kickoff and College Gameday in the same season.
College GameDay returns to the Army-Navy game for the first time since 2023 in Foxborough, Mass. The show's previous Army-Navy stops include East Rutherford, N.J. (2021); West Point, N.Y. (2020); Philadelphia (2015, 2017-19); and Baltimore (2014, 2016).
Rece Davis returns as host, joined at the desk by analysts Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee and Nick Saban. Rounding out the cast are college football insider Pete Thamel, college football analyst "Stanford Steve" Coughlin and reporters Jen Lada and Jess Sims.
