Beginning on Saturday, Nov. 7, at 10 a.m. ET, the ‘Big Noon Kickoff’ show will air live from the United States Military Academy at West Point. Hundreds of uniformed cadets and college football enthusiasts will pay homage to the U.S. armed forces during the event.
The celebration will continue on Sunday, Nov. 8, at 11 a.m. ET, with ‘FOX NFL Sunday’ broadcasting live from West Point and the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. The broadcast will take place in front of the iconic Bancroft Hall at the Naval Academy.
Both ‘Big Noon Kickoff’ and ‘FOX NFL Sunday’ will broadcast from West Point on Nov. 7–8 as part of the Veterans Day celebrations. ‘Big Noon Kickoff’ will feature Rob Stone, Urban Meyer, Matt Leinart, Brady Quinn, Mark Ingram II, Chris “The Bear” Fallica, and Tom Rinaldi. The show will be held at Trophy Point on West Point’s campus before the anticipated Army versus Air Force game.
‘FOX NFL Sunday’ will air simultaneously from both military academies, featuring Curt Menefee, Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Michael Strahan, Rob Gronkowski, Jay Glazer, Charissa Thompson, Charles Woodson, and Julian Edelman.
