National audiences tune in to watch cadet-athletes compete in the Patriot League on the ESPN platform.
Army West Point Athletics ranked first in the Patriot League in both total viewership and average viewers per game across its 2025–26 fall and winter seasons, reflecting a surge in national interest in cadet-athletes competing at the Division I level.
Broadcasts are on ESPN+ via the Patriot League on ESPN relationship; Army West Point competitions are accessible to fans, graduates, families, and prospective cadets nationwide. That reach showed in the numbers: Army led the conference in viewership across multiple sports, with Men’s Basketball, Women’s Basketball, and Men’s Soccer each finishing first in the Patriot League in both total and average viewers. Volleyball and Women’s Soccer rounded out a strong showing, ranking second and third in the conference, respectively.
“Our broadcasts play a vital role in promoting the outstanding Cadets of the United States Military Academy to audiences across the country,” said Tom Theodorakis, Army Director of Athletics. “We are grateful for the Patriot League platform, which allows us to showcase our teams to our loyal fans, prospective cadets and their families, Academy alumni, and supporters nationwide.”
The broadcasts are produced by Michael Tornillo and Zachary Hoover, with Brett Rorie, assistant athletic director for creative video, serving as executive producer.
Beyond the box scores, these broadcasts offer viewers a window into what makes Army West Point athletics distinctive. Cadet-athletes balance the demands of elite competition with a rigorous academic, military, and physical regimen — and in doing so, embody the values of Duty, Honor, Country that define life at West Point. Through sport, they develop the resilience, teamwork, and leadership under pressure that will carry them into service as future Army officers.
As Army’s national audience continues to grow, so does awareness of the Academy’s broader mission: developing leaders of character prepared to serve the nation.
