The 2025 Army–Navy Game is scheduled for Saturday, December 13, 2025, at 3 p.m. ET, and the main way to watch it is on CBS and via streaming on Paramount Plus and CBS digital platforms.

Game basics

  • Date: Saturday, December 13, 2025.
  • Kickoff time: 3 p.m. ET (12 p.m. PT / 8 p.m. GMT).
  • Stadium: M&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore, Maryland.

This matchup is the 126th Army–Navy Game and doubles as a Commander‑in‑Chief’s Trophy decider in 2025, adding extra stakes to “America’s Game.”

How to watch in the U.S.

  • TV channel: CBS will broadcast the 2025 Army–Navy Game nationwide.
  • Primary streaming:
    • Paramount Plus (Premium), which carries the live CBS feed in many markets.
* The CBS Sports website and CBS Sports App with eligible TV or streaming logins.
  • Live TV streaming services that include CBS (check local availability):
    • Fubo.
* DirecTV Stream.

Some of these services promote free trials around big events, which can let eligible new users watch the game at no extra cost if they sign up before kickoff.

Watching from outside the U.S.

  • In many countries, the 2025 Army–Navy Game is not carried on local sports networks; for example, it is noted that the matchup is not picked up by standard Canadian or U.K. college‑football outlets in some listings.
  • When the game is not available in your region, common practice described in viewing guides is to:
    • Keep a U.S. streaming subscription that includes CBS (such as Paramount Plus or a U.S. live‑TV service).
* Use a VPN to connect as if you were in your home U.S. region and then sign in to your usual streaming account, which allows you to access the same Army–Navy live stream you’d see at home.

Always confirm that using a VPN complies with the terms of service of your streaming provider and local laws before relying on that method.

Cord‑cutters and free options

Many “how to watch Army vs Navy” guides emphasize that cord‑cutters can still see the game live through internet‑based bundles that carry CBS.

Typical options mentioned include:

  1. Sign up for a live‑TV streaming service such as Fubo or DirecTV Stream that offers CBS in your area; new users may access a limited free‑trial window around game day.
  1. Use Paramount Plus Premium if it includes your local CBS station, which then streams the Army–Navy broadcast in full.

Some consumer‑news write‑ups frame this as a way to “watch for free” for people who have not previously used the trials, but ongoing access requires a paid subscription after the trial period.

Extra context and fan experience

  • The 2025 game coincides with the 250th anniversary of both the U.S. Army and the U.S. Navy, adding ceremonial weight and extensive pregame coverage to the broadcast.
  • Game‑day coverage usually highlights pageantry such as the march‑on of the Corps of Cadets and the Brigade of Midshipmen, on‑field military traditions, and presentation of the Commander‑in‑Chief’s Trophy depending on the result.

TL;DR: To watch the 2025 Army–Navy Game, tune to CBS at 3 p.m. ET on December 13, or stream it through Paramount Plus, the CBS Sports App/website, or a live‑TV streaming service that carries CBS; if you are abroad, a VPN plus your home U.S. subscription is the commonly recommended setup.
