Army football to host five noon starts, one at 3:30 p.m. in fall 2023
WEST POINT – Army football has been slated for five noon starts for the 2023 season and a rare late-afternoon kick off at Michie Stadium.
Army will take on Troy on October 14 with a 3:30 p.m. start. The usual noon starts are Delaware State on Sept. 9, Boston College on Oct. 7, Massachusetts on Oct. 28, Holy Cross on Nov. 11 and Coastal Carolina on Nov. 18. All the home games are slated for CBS Sports Network.
The last time Army hosted a late-afternoon game was 2020 when the re-scheduled Air Force game (due to the COVID crisis) started at 3 p.m. In 2019, Army hosted Rice for a Friday night opener. In 2017, Fordham visited for a Friday night opener and Texas El Paso played in a 3:30 start.
Army’s road game with Texas San Antonio on Sept. 15 will be a Friday night showcase on ESPN – it will be the Black Knights’ first regular-season game on the flagship cable network since playing at Cincinnati in 2020.
Army tackles service academy rival Air Force in Colorado Springs, on Nov. 4, with a 2:30 p.m. ET start. The game returns to CBSSN after the past two meetings (played in San Antonio) were aired on CBS.
The annual Army-Navy game – to be played in Foxborough, Mass., for the first time – will air on CBS broadcast network on Dec. 9 at 3 p.m.
The only two start times yet to be determined are Sept. 23 at Syracuse and Oct. 21 at Louisiana State – in both instances those start times and network assignments are determined six or 12 days in advance. The non-conference games are ideal choices for the ACC Network and SEC Network, respectively.
