Updated: Feb 25, 2026
Summary
This Senate resolution formally recognizes the annual Army-Navy football game as a cornerstone of collegiate sport tradition and a significant influence on military recruiting. It highlights the game's role as a living symbol of patriotism and unity, inspiring current and future service members through the exemplary values of its Cadets and Midshipmen. The resolution emphasizes that the Army-Navy Game should retain its preeminent and exclusive status as the only college football game broadcast during its scheduled time slot on the second Saturday of December. This exclusivity is deemed crucial for promoting nationwide viewership, shared civic engagement, and recognizing the service and sacrifice of Armed Forces members. It explicitly calls upon broadcasters, collegiate athletic associations, and higher education institutions to avoid scheduling competing games during this period, and urges relevant federal agencies to review policies to enhance coordination and public promotion of the game's civic importance.
