WASHINGTON (June 5, 2025) – The 2025 Go Bowling Military Bowl will be played on Saturday, Dec. 27 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Md., the Military Bowl Foundation announced today. The game once again will match teams from the ACC and the American Athletic Conference.
Kickoff is set for 11 a.m. ET and the game will be televised on ESPN. Proceeds from the Bowl benefit Patriot Point, the Military Bowl Foundation’s 294-acre retreat for wounded, ill and injured service members, their families and caregivers.
The Go Bowling Military Bowl will be the first of seven bowl games that day, along with an NFL tripleheader that starts in the afternoon.
“What an awesome way to start a full Saturday of football: Brunch at the Go Bowling Military Bowl!” Military Bowl Foundation President & Executive Director Steve Beck said. “We can’t wait to welcome the participating teams for a great Bowl Week in the National Capital Region and look forward to another outstanding event as we come together to honor and support those who serve our great nation.”
East Carolina pulled out a thrilling 26-21 win over rival NC State in the 2024 Go Bowling Military Bowl as running back Rahjai Harris rumbled 86 yards for the winning touchdown late in regulation.
The Go Bowling Military Bowl is the culmination of Bowl Week, with the teams staying, practicing and enjoying events in Washington, D.C., while their fans enjoy Military Bowl Eve and gameday in Annapolis.
“The Go Bowling Military Bowl combines the pageantry of college football with supporting those who defend our freedoms at home and abroad,” Beck said. “It has become an annual tradition for so many local residents and we are excited to welcome even more fans this year.”
