Army Announces 11 game football schedule, home game with Citadel and road game at UTexas San Antonio added from prior info from schools.

Air Force to play what appears to be a two game fall schedule hosting Navyvin October then traveling to West Point in November. Seven home games, two road games, and Navy game in Philadelphia

No guidance on spectators, NY State regulation prohibit spectators at professional and college games, watch if Buffalo Bills or Syracuse receive any relief on this.

Good to hear Corps of Cadets will be able to Attend. Have asked about West Point Band, they have performed at other USMA events.

More later, here is announcement and schedule.

FOOTBALL ANNOUNCES AMENDED 2020 SCHEDULE



WEST POINT, N.Y. – Army West Point football announced Monday its amended 2020 football schedule, which currently features 11 games, including eight home games at Michie Stadium.



“We are thrilled to have landed where we have landed,” said Director of Athletics Mike Buddie. “Senior Associate Athletic Director Bob Beretta has been doing the heavy lifting since early April. We have arrived at an awesome slate of games. We kept the two Academy games and we are thrilled to have Middle Tennessee State coming up to Michie Stadium on September 5.”



The Black Knights will open up the 2020 slate on Saturday, Sept. 5 vs. Middle Tennessee State, the start of what is currently a five-game homestand to open up the season.



The Black Knights will welcome Louisiana-Monroe on Sept. 12, followed by a visit from BYU on Sept. 19 at 3:30 p.m. ET. The BYU game will be televised on the CBS Television Network.



Next Army will welcome Abilene Christian on Oct. 3, followed by The Citadel on Oct. 10.



The first of two true road tests for Army is next at UTSA on Oct. 17.



The Black Knights will then return to Michie Stadium for two, first for an Oct. 24 tilt vs. Mercer and then the rivalry matchup with Air Force on Nov. 7.



The final true road contest of the year is at Tulane on Nov. 14.



On Nov. 21 the Black Knights will celebrate Senior Day as they welcome Georgia Southern to West Point for the final home game of the year.



The 2020 regular season will be capped off in Philadelphia as the Black Knights take on Navy in the 121st iteration of the famed rivalry game on December 12 at Lincoln Financial Field.



Game times and television selections for each game will be released in the future. The BYU game is set for 3:30 p.m. CT and will be televised on the CBS Television Network.
