Only seven games have ever been held on the campus of either academy, primarily because neither team has ever played at an on-campus stadium large enough to accommodate the large crowds that attend. The rivalry's first four games were hosted on the parade grounds of the respective academies. For all but three years since 1899, it has been held at a neutral site. Two were held on campus due to World War II travel restrictions (1942 at Navy's old [[Thompson Stadium]] and 1943 at [[Michie Stadium]]); and the 2020 game was held at Michie Stadium due to [[COVID-19 pandemic in Philadelphia|COVID-19 restrictions in Philadelphia]].

Philadelphia has been the traditional home of the Army–Navy game, due to the historic nature of the city and its location approximately halfway between West Point and Annapolis. Through the 2023 meeting, 90 of the 124 games in the series have been contested in Philadelphia, including every game from 1932 to 1982 except three games that were relocated due to [[World War II]] travel restrictions. For decades, the [[Pennsylvania Railroad]] and its successors offered game-day service to all Army–Navy games in Philadelphia using a sprawling temporary station constructed each year near Municipal Stadium on the railroad's Greenwich freight yard. The service, with more than 40 trains serving as many as 30,000 attendees, was the single largest concentrated passenger rail movement in the country.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6sZVp41FVOsC&pg=PA138 |title=Crossroads of Commerce: The Pennsylvania Railroad Calendar Art of Grif Teller |first=Dan |last=Cupper |year=1992 |page=138 |isbn=9780811729031 |publisher=Stackpole Books |via=Google Books}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://michaelfroio.com/blog/tothegame |title=To The Game: A Pennsylvania Railroad Tradition |first=Michael |last=Froio |date=December 11, 2015 |access-date=August 24, 2016}}</ref>

All games contested in Philadelphia through 1935 were played at what is now [[Franklin Field]], the home field of the [[Penn Quakers football|University of Pennsylvania]]. From 1936 through 1979, all games contested in Philadelphia were held at Municipal Stadium, renamed [[John F. Kennedy Stadium]] in 1964. From 1980 to 2001, all games contested in Philadelphia took place at [[Veterans Stadium]]. Since 2003, all games contested in Philadelphia have been played at [[Lincoln Financial Field]].

Outside of Philadelphia, the New York area has been the most frequent Army–Navy site. The [[Polo Grounds]] holds the record for most games hosted outside of Philadelphia with nine.  It was the location of all New York City games through 1927. [[Yankee Stadium (1923)|Yankee Stadium]] was the site of the game in 1930 and 1931. Six games have been hosted in [[New Jersey]]: 1905 at [[Osborne Field]] at [[Princeton University]], four games at [[Giants Stadium]] from 1989 to 2002, and 2021 at [[MetLife Stadium]].

A number of games throughout the history of the series have also been hosted in [[Maryland]]. In [[Baltimore]], [[Memorial Stadium (Baltimore)|Municipal Stadium]] was the location of the 1924 and 1944 games. Four games were played at [[M&T Bank Stadium]] in Baltimore since 2000. In 2011 and 2024, the game was played at [[FedExField]] in [[Landover, Maryland]].

The 2023 game was held at [[Gillette Stadium]] in [[Foxborough, Massachusetts]].

The [[Rose Bowl (stadium)|Rose Bowl]] is the only site west of the [[Mississippi River]] where an Army–Navy game has been played, in 1983. [[Pasadena, California]], home to the Rose Bowl, paid for the travel expenses of all the students and supporters of both academies, including 9,437 in all. The game was held at the Rose Bowl that year because there are a large number of military installations and servicemen and women, along with many retired military personnel, on the West Coast.<ref name="SIVAULT1983">Clark, N.

Accessed December 24, 2009.</ref> The game has been held one other time in a non-East Coast venue, at Chicago's [[Soldier Field]], which hosted the 1926 game.
