WEST POINT, N.Y. -- Army West Point and Syracuse have agreed to a future four-game football series between 2023-26.

The Black Knights will host the Orange at Michie Stadium on Sept. 21, 2024 and Sept. 26, 2026. Army starts the series at the Carrier Dome on Sept. 23, 2023 and returns to Central New York on Sept. 27, 2025.

"We're excited to renew our series with Syracuse," Army West Point Director of Athletics Boo Corrigan said. "Both institutions have a proud football tradition and it is something that just makes sense. The chance to get to Upstate New York, where there is a strong military presence with the 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum, allows us to showcase our cadet-athletes in another region of the Northeast. The new agreement also allows the people of New York City, including alumni from both schools, the opportunity to visit West Point and see two of the top programs in the tri-state area."

Army and Syracuse have a history on the gridiron and have faced each other 21 times since the first meeting back in 1899. The Orange own an 11-10 advantage in the series, but the two schools haven't faced off since 1996. Syracuse is unbeaten against the Black Knights in the Carrier Dome, while Army owns a 10-6 record at West Point.

The 2016 season is right around the corner with the opener at Temple on Sept. 2 at Lincoln Financial Field at 7 p.m . in Philadelphia. Army opens its home slate on Sept. 10 against Rice.

Single game tickets start at just $35 for the Rice, Lafayette and Morgan State contests. North Texas starts at $40 and Air Force at $50.

Three-game mini plans are also offered with prices ranging from $90-$135 depending on which games fans select.

Fans also have the option to purchase general parking passes in advance for $15, saving $5 off the gameday price of $20.

Tickets can be purchased online by clicking here , by calling the Army West Point Ticket Office at 1-877-TIX-ARMY or in person at Gate 3 of Michie Stadium.
