ESPN report reveals dates for five of Alabama's biggest 2024 games
The SEC will release its 2024 football schedule in December, but some of the bigger games on next year’s slate were revealed on Monday, including five key matchups for Alabama.
According to Chris Low of ESPN, the Crimson Tide’s home game against the Georgia Bulldogs will take place on Saturday, Sept. 28. Alabama’s rivalry with Tennessee will remain on the Third Saturday in October, taking place on Oct. 19. The Tide has traditionally been on a bye week after that, and it will need it before a tough November stretch at LSU on Nov. 9, at Oklahoma on Nov. 23 and against Auburn to close out the regular season on Nov. 30.
In addition to these five dates, Alabama will also play host to Missouri and South Carolina and travel to Vanderbilt in SEC play. Days for those games will be revealed at a later date.
Alabama’s other 2024 opponents include three home games against Western Kentucky (Aug. 31), South Florida (Sept. 7) and Mercer (Nov. 16), as well as a road game at Wisconsin on Sept. 14, which is part of a home-and-home series between the Tide and Badgers.
The Tide will have two bye weeks next year with the season starting on Aug. 31.
Other top games on the 2024 SEC football schedule, according to Low’s report on Monday evening, include Miami at Florida (Aug. 31), Notre Dame at Texas A&M (Aug. 31), Texas A&M at Florida (Sept. 14), Tennessee at Oklahoma (Sept. 21), Georgia at Texas (Oct. 19), LSU at Texas A&M (Oct. 26), Texas at Arkansas (Nov. 16) and Texas at Texas A&M (Nov. 30).
The 2024 season, the SEC’s first without divisions since 1991, will usher in a new television era as next year will begin an exclusive, 10-year deal with ESPN and ABC and the league.
