Army-Navy Game At Gillette Scheduled For December

FOXBOROUGH, MA — CBS Sports announced its 2023 college football schedule, which includes this year's Army-Navy game, set to be played in Massachusetts.

In 2023, college football fans in New England will get an up-close look at the historic matchup for the first time in the 124-year history of the series when the academies face off at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough.

The game is scheduled for Dec. 9 at 3 p.m.

The 2023 installment of Army-Navy will mark only the third time this historic matchup has taken place outside of the mid-Atlantic region. The year also features several notable historical milestones for the Commonwealth, including the 250th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, taking place just one week after the 2023 Army-Navy Game.

Massachusetts was the birthplace of the National Guard in 1636, as well as the birthplace of both the United States Army and United States Navy in 1775. The Bay State is also home to the Charlestown Navy Yard, one of the six original Navy shipyards in the country, as well as the USS Constitution, the oldest commissioned naval vessel afloat.

Additionally, the first battles of the American Revolution, the Battles of Lexington and Concord, took place in Massachusetts.
