Future Football Opponents: Which SEC teams will Alabama play from 2026-29?
Alabama Football’s SEC opponents for the next four years were revealed on Tuesday evening.
With the conference moving to a nine-game football schedule beginning next season, each SEC team will play three annual opponents, focused on maintaining traditional rivalries, while the six remaining games will rotate among the remaining conference schools. Alabama’s three annual foes will be Auburn, Mississippi State and Tennessee for the next four seasons.
It will host the Auburn in 2026 and 2028, and host State and the Vols in 2027 and 2029.
In 2026, the Crimson Tide will also welcome Georgia, South Carolina and Texas A&M to Tuscaloosa and travel to take on Kentucky, LSU and Vanderbilt. Alabama will play the same teams during the 2028 college football season, only at opposite campuses. The Tide will also host Florida State in 2026 and Ohio State in 2028 as part of home-and-home series.
The dates of games for the 2026 SEC football season will be announced in December.
Alabama’s 2027 schedule will feature Florida, Missouri and Texas at home, while the Tide will play Arkansas, Ole Miss and Oklahoma on the road. Those locations will flip in 2029. As part of its non-conference slate, UA will travel to Ohio State in 2027 and Notre Dame in 2029.
