This year’s game is also part of a two-game football series, with Army scheduled to visit Provo in November 2032.

The 2020 matchup, if the season is played, will be the first meeting of the two schools.

“It’s a real honor for BYU football to play in Michie Stadium, one of the most historic venues in college football,” BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe said in a statement. “We are very excited to visit the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and play the Black Knights.”
