Army football will open American Athletic play on Sept. 7 at Florida Atlantic

“The answer is: Florida Atlantic.”

“What is, who will be Army football’s first American Athletic Conference game.”

That should answer any Jeopardy question in the future.

The Black Knights will make their AAC debut against FAU on Saturday, September 7, in Boca Raton.

Following a bye week, the AAC makes its debut at venerable Michie Stadium when Rice visits West Point on Sept. 21.

The rest of the AAC schedule has Army at Tulsa on Oct. 5; Alabama Birmingham visits on Oct. 12; East Carolina visits on Oct. 19; Army travels to North Texas on Nov. 9; and, Army hosts Texas San Antonio on Nov. 30.

The kickoff times for road games with Tulsa and North Texas will be announced 12 days out from those starts to accommodate ESPN network schedules.

Army home games will be on CBS Sports Network, through the 2028 season. ESPN has the rights to all other AAC games with the ability to place games on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and subscription ESPN+.
