Army-Navy Game Transportation

The 2026 game starts at 3 PM ET on Saturday, Dec. 12, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. MetLife lists event-specific opening times for the parking lots, doors and Fan Fest.

Use the event-specific hours when planning your arrival. The stadium's general guidance can differ from an event listing, so check the MetLife Stadium car service and event information before you leave. For more New York dates, browse New York event transportation.

A private chauffeur takes you directly from your pickup address to the designated MetLife car area; rail is another option from Manhattan. The stadium is about 8 miles west of Midtown. Recent route snapshots show the scale of the trip from Midtown and the three major airports.

These are Google Maps leave-now snapshots checked Oct. 26, 2026, rather than game-day travel forecasts. Traffic, weather and event controls can change the route and duration. For airport arrival planning, see NYC airport car service, JFK car service, LGA car service and car service to Newark Airport.

A prearranged car gives your group a pickup at home, a hotel or an airport and a direct trip to the stadium area. For a trip from Manhattan, enter your exact pickup address instead of using Times Square as a stand-in; neighborhoods and access roads vary. If you are arriving by air, choose your terminal and provide your flight information when you request the ride. The price displayed for the actual pickup and destination is the one to review before submitting the request.

MetLife directs prearranged cars, taxis and limousines to the roadway between Lots D and E, where curb access is free. Your chauffeur meets you at the permitted pickup point for the event. The driver remains with the vehicle at the curb, and prepaid parking follows separate rules.

Before entering the stadium, agree on the return meeting point and identify a nearby sign or lot marker. Keep your phone available during the postgame walk, then follow venue staff's directions to the current pickup area. A clear meeting detail, such as the lot-side roadway and a nearby sign, helps your party and chauffeur find the same place.

The app-based pickup zone is in Lot E outside Verizon Gate. Follow signs for the service you booked, and use live venue directions if staff move the pickup point. For a direct trip to the stadium, review MetLife Stadium car service and share your return plan when booking.

MetLife's event sources had not published a specific 2026 street-closure map by Oct. 26. Check the live event directions before departure and follow signs and staff instructions on arrival.

Set the pickup time for the experience you want: tailgating, Fan Fest or stadium entry. Build in room for the drive, the stadium approach, screening and the walk from the car area to your gate.

Start with your departure address and preferred arrival time, then check live traffic before the ride. Airport travelers should allow time for landing, baggage and the drive from the terminal. Share the pickup and return meeting point with your group so everyone knows where to gather.

From Manhattan, take NJ TRANSIT from Penn Station New York to Secaucus Junction, then transfer to Meadowlands event rail beside the stadium. MetLife estimates about 10 minutes from Secaucus and says large-event service begins hours before kickoff and continues for hours afterward. MetLife also describes the 351 bus from Port Authority, with event boarding near Quest Diagnostics at Lot K. NJ TRANSIT lists Dec. 12 as a train event, but exact departures and ticket details were pending; the bus schedule checked Oct. 26 did not list Dec. 12. Check both live schedules for game-day service before you travel.

Rail works for a group comfortable with a station transfer and event train. A direct chauffeur is useful when you want a pickup at your address, are arriving with bags, or need a planned ride to the airport afterward. Compare the transfer with New York car service and decide whether a point-to-point ride or a longer hourly reservation fits your schedule.

An Executive Sedan from JFK starts at $269. The table compares three other vehicle classes for both routes; the Times Square sedan example is in the introduction.

A one-way request suits a group with a clear pickup time and destination. Hourly service can fit a schedule that includes a longer venue visit or more than one stop; choose the reservation window when you request it. Every regular pickup has a 15-minute grace period, after which waiting time applies. Compare the direct and hourly options on hourly car service in NYC, or call 888-887-0324 for help selecting a service.

Choose a vehicle by passenger count, then enter the bag count when you request the ride. Luggage capacity depends on the vehicle, and Sprinters are quoted on request.

Luggage capacity depends on the vehicle. Include checked bags, carry-ons and any game-day equipment in the bag count when you request a ride. Child seats are $25 each in SUVs and Sprinters, never in sedans. For a larger group, compare the NYC Sprinter van service and call dispatch at 888-887-0324 to discuss the passenger and luggage counts.

For airport arrivals, flight tracking is included, with a 60-minute wait time after a domestic landing and a 90-minute wait time after an international landing. An inside-terminal meet and greet is available as a $25 add-on. If you are connecting from an airport to the game, enter your flight number and airport pickup details when booking, and choose the MetLife destination for the same request.

Yes, tailgating is allowed in stadium parking areas. The venue's rules for vehicles, tents, sound and cooking are summarized below.

Keep equipment in the car parked in your authorized space; use the curb for passenger movement. Follow stadium signs for event-day instructions.

MetLife screens guests and bags at entry and inspects vehicles. Choose one of the permitted bag options below; the Army-Navy FAQ says guests cannot re-enter after leaving the stadium.

Travel with your game ticket, phone and the bag you plan to carry inside. Review the current MetLife event information before leaving, especially if the group has medical items or tailgating equipment.
