The game is played in the 44,008 - seat Amon G. Carter Stadium on the campus of Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas, featuring teams from a variety of collegiate football conferences ; in addition, the independent United States Military Academy ( Army ) is also eligible to participate. The game was initially known as the Fort Worth Bowl ( 2003 -- 2005 ). The contest is one of 14 bowls produced by ESPN Events ( previously ESPN Regional Television ) and has been televised annually on ESPN since its inception. Armed Forces Insurance is the official Insurance Partner of the Armed Forces Bowl and has sponsored the Great American Patriot Award, presented at halftime at the Bowl, since 2006.

The bank 's sponsorship ended in 2004, and the 2005 game was without corporate sponsorship. In 2006, Fort Worth based Bell Helicopter Textron took over sponsorship, and thus the game became officially known as the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl. The Bell sponsorship ended in 2013. During this time, the 2010 and 2011 Armed Forces Bowl were held at Gerald J. Ford Stadium on the campus of Southern Methodist University in the Dallas enclave of University Park, while Amon G. Carter Stadium was undergoing a major renovation. The game returned to Amon Carter Stadium in Fort Worth in 2012, after construction on that stadium was completed. Since the name was changed to the Armed Forces Bowl, one of the three FBS - playing service academies ( Army, Navy, and Air Force ) has appeared in the game nine times, in twelve playings through the 2017 game. Contractual tie - ins with the American Athletic Conference ( home of Navy ), the Mountain West Conference ( home of Air Force ) and independent Army assures that one of those schools could appear in the game every year, if bowl eligible and not already committed to another bowl. Alltel was to assume the title sponsorship and naming rights to the game beginning in 2014, which would have been titled the Alltel Wireless Bowl to promote its mobile division, but the deal fell through. Instead, Lockheed Martin became the game 's sponsor. The company has a major presence in the Dallas - Fort Worth Metroplex : the company 's Lockheed Martin Aeronautics division is based in Fort Worth while its Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control division is based in nearby Grand Prairie, Texas. Conference tie - ins The bowl 's partnership with the Big 12 Conference ended with the 2005 season. From 2006 to 2009, the Mountain West Conference was signed to provide a team to face either a team from the Pacific - 10 Conference or Conference USA ( depending on the year ; Pac - 10 teams would play in odd number years while C - USA teams would play in even numbered years ). As such, the 2006 and 2008 games featured Conference USA teams Tulsa and Houston, respectively, whereas California represented the Pac - 10 in 2007. The Pac - 10 was unable to send a representative to the game in 2009, so Conference USA sent Houston to the game for a second consecutive year. In 2010, since the Mountain West did not have enough eligible teams and Army was bowl eligible, they played SMU in the Armed Forces Bowl. Following the 2013 football season, the Armed Forces Bowl signed multi-year agreements with the American Athletic Conference, Big Ten Conference, Big 12 Conference, Mountain West Conference, Army and Navy to set bowl match - ups for the next six seasons ( Navy would later join the American Athletic Conference ).
