It’s time to grab your Navy hoodie, bag up your favorite tailgate snacks, and get ready to cheer on the Naval Academy Midshipmen, because USNA football is back! After building serious momentum last season, the Midshipmen are charging into this fall with high expectations, a packed schedule, and the determination to make this year one for the record books.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the traditions of the Yard, here’s your preview of what’s ahead, where to watch the action (especially the showdown with Army), and how to proudly support Naval Academy football every step of the way.
Last year was a turning point for Naval Academy football. The Midshipmen finished strong, with grit, growth, and a decisive 31-13 win over Army that had fans fired up. From strong defensive performances to game-changing special teams play, Navy showed why it's a force to be reckoned with. The team’s relentless spirit not only secured wins, it also rekindled the pride and energy that makes USNA football so special.
With a solid returning roster and promising new talent, Head Coach Brian Newberry and his staff are set to build on that success this fall.
