Exclusive Army‑Navy Broadcast Window
You will see the Army‑Navy Game reserved an exclusive broadcast spot on the second Saturday in December. The order directs the Secretary of Commerce and the Chairman of the FCC to coordinate with the College Football Playoff Committee, the NCAA, other agencies, and broadcast and media rights partners to establish a broadcast window during which no college football playoff (CFP) or other postseason games are broadcast in a manner that directly conflicts with the Army‑Navy Game.
