Tip-off times, TV channels announced for Alabama basketball's 2025-26 SEC games

The Alabama men’s basketball team will tip off its 2025-26 season in less than a month. And on Tuesday, the SEC and ESPN announced the start times and TV channels for its SEC games.
The Crimson Tide will open the season, Year 7 under Nate Oats, against North Dakota on Nov. 3, and after 13 non-conference games, SEC play will begin two months later on Jan. 3 with a home game against the Kentucky Wildcats. That game tips off at 11 a.m. CT on ESPN.
