It will be televised nationally on ESPN. 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.” This past year, for the fifth consecutive bowl season, the Military Bowl provided more than $100,000 to the USO and thousands of complimentary tickets to troops and their families.

According to figures compiled by the Annapolis & Anne Arundel County Conference and Visitors Bureau, the game generated more than $17 million in economic impact for the Annapolis-Washington market.
