Broadcast affiliate availability depends on your streaming location.

Key dates to know

• Season kickoff: Alabama's regular season opens in late August or early September each year, with Bryant-Denny Stadium hosting most non-conference and several SEC home games.
• SEC play: Alabama plays an eight-game SEC schedule in a conference that no longer uses East/West divisions — the top two teams in the standings meet in the SEC Championship Game in early December.
• Rivalry weekend: The Iron Bowl against Auburn traditionally closes out the regular season in late November, alternating each year between Bryant-Denny Stadium and Auburn's Jordan-Hare Stadium.
• Postseason: Alabama has been a regular participant in the College Football Playoff since it expanded, with games airing across ABC and the ESPN family.

The Crimson Tide storyline: a championship blueprint

Alabama claims 18 national championships, among the most in major college football history, built on decades of championship-level football under coaches from Bear Bryant to Nick Saban. Kalen DeBoer, Alabama's head coach since 2024, has kept the Crimson Tide in the College Football Playoff picture, including an SEC Championship Game appearance and a CFP berth in his second season. Bryant-Denny Stadium, with a capacity north of 100,000, remains one of the loudest environments in the SEC. No rivalry defines the Alabama schedule more than the Iron Bowl against Auburn — a series dating back to the 1890s and widely regarded as one of the fiercest in college football — while long-running series with Tennessee and Louisiana State add to one of the toughest annual schedules in the sport.
