Agreement Grants Exclusive Rights to America's Game on CBS & Paramount+ Through 2038
CBS Sports will remain the home for one of the greatest rivalries in sports, the Army-Navy Game presented by USAA, with a new all-encompassing 10-year deal extending the Network's multiplatform rights through 2038. The announcement was made today by David Berson, President & CEO, CBS Sports, Mike Buddie, Director of Athletics at the United States Military Academy and Chet Gladchuk, Director of Athletics at the United States Naval Academy.
The extension of the partnership ensures that CBS Sports will remain the exclusive home of America's Game for more than four decades, as the Network has carried the game every year since 1996.
"CBS Sports is immensely proud of our decades-long association with the Army-Navy football game and our partnerships with the US Military and US Naval Academies," said Berson. "America's Game is special and has always been about more than football. We are privileged to document the extraordinary stories of the cadets and midshipmen on and off the field and will continue to celebrate the traditions and history of this great game while highlighting these venerated service academies for years to come."
"CBS has long been synonymous with the Army-Navy game, and this extension strengthens our partnership with a first-class brand, enhancing America's game and showcasing the remarkable talent of our cadet-athletes on the national stage," said Buddie.
The extended agreement will:
- Provide CBS Sports with continued multiplatform rights surrounding the game on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+
- Feature continued extensive shoulder programming across CBS Sports Network, including:
- Live on-site coverage of the MARCH ON as part of official pre-game coverage
- Week-long Army-Navy archival programming, along with encore showings of the game following its initial airing on CBS
- A special edition of INSIDE COLLEGE FOOTBALL
- Include exclusive rights to stream Army-Navy worldwide.
