The Military Bowl presented by Northrop Grumman, benefiting the USO, announced Wednesday that its 2016 game will kick off on Tuesday, December 27 at 3:30 p.m. at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. It will be televised nationally on ESPN.
For the third consecutive season, the game will match a team from the Atlantic Coast Conference against a team from the American Athletic Conference. This past December in the 2015 Military Bowl, Navy beat Pittsburgh, 44-28, before a sellout crowd of 36,352.
"We have had three sensational years in Annapolis and we look forward to another terrific Bowl Week and Military Bowl presented by Northrop Grumman," DC Bowl Committee President and Executive Director Steve Beck said.
