ARLINGTON, Texas — USAA, a leading financial services provider to more than 13 million members of the U.S. military, veterans who have honorably served and their families, was announced today as the presenting sponsor for the first college football game at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
The Lockheed Martin Commanders' Classic, presented by USAA, will be played on Saturday, November 6 between the U.S. Air Force Academy and the U.S. Military Academy. Kickoff is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. CT, and the 55th matchup between the two service academies will be televised nationally on CBS. Air Force has been designated as the home team. Tickets can be purchased at commandersclassic.com/events.
In addition, USAA will be the presenting sponsor for the boxing competition between Air Force and Army on Friday night, November 5, also at Globe Life Field.
"Hosting Army and Air Force in the inaugural Commanders' Classic at Globe Life Field gives us a unique opportunity to honor our military heroes," said Sean Decker, REV Entertainment president. "The addition of USAA as the presenting sponsor strengthens our military ties and opens even more opportunities to celebrate active and retired service members during an unforgettable weekend in Arlington."
USAA will also be the presenting sponsor for next season's Commanders' Classic on Saturday, November 5, 2022, at Globe Life Field with Army designated as the home team.
"USAA is a longtime supporter of the military academies and their athletic programs, and we are excited to help elevate this game between Air Force and Army," said Jason Dennis, USAA vice president of marketing. "This game is another opportunity for us to demonstrate our support for these future American leaders, their families and the entire military community."
Air Force leads the all-time series, 37-17-1. In last year's meeting, Army beat Air Force 10-7 at Michie Stadium in West Point, New York. Both service academies opened their 2021 seasons with victories last Saturday. Army earned a 43-10 win over Georgia State in Atlanta with Air Force defeating Lafayette, 35-14 in Colorado Springs.
As part of the weekend's festivities, the first boxing matches ever held at Globe Life Field will be featured on Friday, November 5 when the men's and women's boxing teams from Air Force and Army square off in an 11-bout competition beginning at 7:00 p.m. Tickets for the boxing competition will be available for purchase Friday, September 10, beginning at 10 a.m. CT at commandersclassic.com/events.
It will be second meeting of the fall between the Black Knights and Cadets as the two schools join Navy in the Chuck Davey Invitational triangular showdown on October 29 in Detroit. Air Force has earned 19 National Collegiate Boxing Association men's and women's team titles since 1980 while Army was the 2019 NCBA men's team champion with the women's team earning five individual titles in that event. The boxing ring will be set up in what is the right field corner at Globe Life Field with floor and general admission seating available.
