This is the sort of Week 1 fixture that should be simple: a set kickoff, a national TV window, and a clean route for anyone who wants to watch. Navy Midshipmen vs. Towson Tigers has that covered. The game is scheduled for Saturday, September 5 at 3:30 p.m. ET, and it will be televised nationally on CBS Sports Network.
That matters because this is exactly what fans want from a season opener. No guessing. No waiting around for a late switch. Just a clear slot on the calendar and a straightforward broadcast plan for viewers who want the game on TV or through streaming services.
When does Navy Midshipmen vs. Towson Tigers kick off?
The kickoff is set for Saturday, September 5 at 3:30 p.m. ET, which is 2:30 p.m. CT. For a NCAAF Week 1 matchup, that is a useful mid-afternoon window: early enough to anchor the day, late enough to avoid the usual opening-slate clutter.
How can fans watch?
The game is scheduled to air nationally on CBS Sports Network. The source also notes that football can be watched through a number of streaming and TV services, including Fubo, Paramount+, YouTube TV, DirecTV Stream, and other mobile and digital options. For viewers outside their usual setup, a VPN is also mentioned as part of the broader viewing conversation.
That is the real value here: a national TV broadcast backed by multiple ways to stream means fans of the Navy Midshipmen and Towson Tigers do not need to scramble. In a sport built on chaos, at least this part is tidy. Army Football followers looking for a clear reference point for the weekend should file this one away: Saturday, September 5, 3:30 p.m. ET, CBS Sports Network.
