CBS Sports will retain all other Navy home games and retain the ability to carry the home game vs. Air Force. Most Navy home games retained by CBS Sports will air on CBS Sports Network. For the pandemic affected 2020 season, Navy home games vs. BYU and Memphis were reserved by ESPN.
The contract with ESPN ends after the 2031-2032 athletic year while the agreement for Navy home games with CBS Sports ends after the 2027 season.
