The non-conference game was assigned on a 12-day advance notice — most Saturday college football games are assigned on 6- or 12-day notice per contracts with the television networks. This game is part of the Sun Belt Conference contract since the Bulldogs are a member.
As a member of the American Conference, Army’s road contests are assigned to one of the ESPN networks — that falls to ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNews and ESPN+. The ESPN+ webstream is available to subscribers, and is often found as part of existing major cable television packages, such as Spectrum and DirecTV.
ESPN has Army’s Sept. 25 road game at Temple and ESPN2 has the Friday, Oct. 23, road game at Tulsa. The road games at Memphis on Oct. 31 and at Rice on Nov. 28 will be on an ESPN network.
Army’s home games at Michie Stadium are still part of an exisiting deal with CBS Sports Network through the 2028 season. CBS Sports has a separate deal for the annual Army-Navy game through 2038, and CBS can also pull Army games to the main network, such as the Nov. 7 home night game with Air Force.

Last season, Army’s Nov. 29 game at Texas San Antonio was televised on ESPN+; the Kansas State and East Carolina games were on ESPN and the Alabama-Birmingham and Tulane games were on ESPNU.
The American had five Oct. 3 games assigned to ESPN+: Memphis at Charlotte and Samford at Ala. Birmingham at 3:30 p.m.; Texas Southern at Florida Atlantic at 6 p.m.; Texas San Antonio at Rice at 7 p.m.; and, the Army at Tech game at 7:30 p.m. Navy at Air Force will air on CBS at noon, and Temple at South Florida airs on ESPNU at 7:30 p.m.
