Mandatory Credit: Danny Wild-Imagn Images The on-field success of both Army and Navy in the 2024 season led to television ratings for their rivalry game not seen in more than three decades.
According to Front Office Sports, Navy's 31-13 victory last Saturday at Landover, Md., had a viewership of 9.4 million for CBS, making it the highest ratings for the game since at least 1990. The 1992 Army-Navy game had a viewership of 8.45 million.
Army (11-2) and Navy (9-3) are both bowl bound. Army will face Louisiana Tech in the Dec. 28 Independence Bowl, while Navy takes on Oklahoma in the Armed Forces Bowl on Dec. 27.
The Army-Navy clash led to a 31 percent jump in viewership from the 2023 contest.
Earlier this month, CBS announced a 10-year extension to broadcast the game in a deal that runs through 2038.
