Army-Navy Game Tournament
Through the "Play Now" mode in EA Sports College Football 25, fans will have an opportunity to represent their favorite team in a single-elimination tournament, with top players advancing to an in-person showdown at the Army-Navy Game Block Party on December 13 at the Capitol Riverfront in Washington, D.C. EA Sports College Football players will have two opportunities to participate throughout November – in online Qualifiers and Playoffs. The final two players will be flown out to compete during the Army-Navy Game Block Party, where they will compete live to be crowned the first-ever Army-Navy Game esports champion. The Army-Navy Game Tournament builds on USAA's ongoing commitment to reaching the next generation of fans. In August 2024, the pair partnered for the Madden NFL 25 Championship Series, which named USAA the series' official insurance partner.
"Through the Army-Navy Game Tournament, we're offering college football fans a new way to celebrate and honor the legacy of this epic rivalry game," said Andrew Echanique, Director of American Football Esports, EA. "Since the release of EA Sports College Football 25, we've seen many passionate players ready to test their skills, so we are excited to offer them a chance to do so at one of the most historic matchups in college football."
