America’s Game, Philadelphia’s Honor

Philadelphia Wins Bid to Host Army-Navy Game In 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2022

As announced on August 22, 2017, Philadelphia has been awarded four of the next five opportunities to host the Army-Navy Game. In addition to playing host this year, Lincoln Financial Field will also host the 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2022 games.

Philadelphia is incredibly proud to be the home of America’s Game, just as we have been 86 times since its inception in 1890.

Known as one of the biggest hospitality weekends of the year in Philadelphia, the game generally attracts more than 50,000 fans who generate 30,000 regional hotel room nights and an estimated economic impact of more than $30 million.

We are most grateful to the Service Academies for their partnership, and very proud to be home to America’s Game — it is truly Philadelphia’s honor.
