The game once again will match a team from the Atlantic Coast Conference against an opponent from the American Athletic Conference. With the addition of the U.S. Naval Academy, The American now has 12 football members.

“Our first two games in Annapolis have been nothing short of sensational,” Military Bowl President & Executive Director Steve Beck said. “Our game has grown into a terrific event with plenty of activities for both those who live in the National Capital Region and fans of the teams who travel to attend the bowl. We look forward to working with all of our tremendous partners in the region to make this the best Military Bowl presented by Northrop Grumman yet.”
