President Donald Trump signed an executive order last week which will keep Army vs. Navy as a standalone broadcast as it has been for near the last two decades.

The executive order, which is entitled “Preserving America’s Game,” says no college football game including potential CFP matchups are able to be broadcast at a time and date conflicting with the Army vs. Navy game, which has been played the week after conference title games as of late.

It’s a move that was first reported on by Alex Byington of On3.

“Trump’s executive order directs FCC Chairman Brendan Carr and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick to coordinate with the College Football Playoff management committee, the NCAA, and its broadcast partners — namely ESPN, which owns the CFP broadcasting rights through 2032 — with the goal of establishing an exclusive window for the Army-Navy Game, during which no other college football game is broadcast. The EO also recommends the FCC consider reviewing the public interest obligations of broadcast licensees to determine whether those obligations would require that the Army-Navy Game remain a national service event,” Byington wrote in quoting the EO.

The order was first discussed in January with American Conference commissioner Tim Pernetti thanking Trump for committing to protecting the game window

“We thank President Donald J. Trump and our legislators for their commitment to protecting the Army-Navy game. This game is a national treasure where the true commitment of our future leaders is on display. As collegiate athletics continues to moderize in an unchartered landscape, the support of our leaders in Washington is crucial,” Pernetti wrote in January on X. “Alongside our member institutions, we look forward to working together to enhance the experience for student-athletes. There are opportunities for change that provide creative, sustainable economic solutions, without compromising tradition, while protecting the mission of delivering educational opportunities through sports.”
