2025 Military Bowl

The 2025 Military Bowl, officially known as the Go Bowling Military Bowl, was a college football bowl game played on December 27, 2025, at Navy–Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Maryland, and aired on ESPN. The game featured the Pittsburgh Panthers (8–4) of the ACC against the East Carolina Pirates (8–4) of the American Conference, with East Carolina securing a 23–17 victory. This marked the fifth all-time meeting between the two programs, who had split their previous four games, with their last matchup dating back to 1992. Pitt entered the bowl after an 8–4 regular season that saw them ranked as high as 22nd before losing to ranked opponents Notre Dame and Miami. East Carolina, conversely, overcame a shaky start of three losses in their first six games to win five of their final six contests and earn their berth. As part of the 2025–26 bowl season, the game concluded the FBS football campaign and was sponsored by GoBowling.com.
