SEC Announces Kickoff Times for Two More Alabama Football Games in 2025, Highlighting Key Matchups and Broadcast Details
The Southeastern Conference (SEC) has recently unveiled the kickoff times for two additional Alabama football games in the 2025 season, adding to the excitement surrounding the Crimson Tide’s schedule. These announcements provide fans with more clarity on when to expect their team’s high-profile matchups, further intensifying the anticipation for the upcoming season.
One of the newly announced games is the highly anticipated SEC showdown between Alabama and Georgia, scheduled for September 27, 2025, at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia. This matchup marks the second consecutive year that Alabama will open SEC play against the Bulldogs. The game is set to kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on CBS, a network known for its extensive college football coverage. This prime-time slot underscores the significance of the game, as both teams are expected to be strong contenders in the conference.
The second game to have its kickoff time announced is the homecoming game against Oklahoma on November 15, 2025, at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. This game holds particular importance for the Crimson Tide, as it serves as a rematch following their 24-3 loss to the Sooners in Norman, Oklahoma, the previous season. The homecoming game is traditionally a highlight of the season, and this year’s matchup promises to be especially memorable. The kickoff time for this game is set for 6:00 p.m. CT, providing fans with an evening filled with festivities and football.
These announcements are part of the SEC’s broader effort to release kickoff times for the 2025 season, allowing fans to plan their schedules accordingly. The conference has been gradually unveiling game times, with several key matchups already scheduled. For instance, the season opener between Alabama and Florida State on August 30, 2025, is set to begin at 3:30 p.m. ET and will be televised on ABC. This game marks the first time Alabama will begin a season on the road since 2020 and the first non-conference road pairing to begin a year since 2000 at UCLA.
In addition to these high-profile games, Alabama’s 2025 schedule includes several other notable matchups. The Crimson Tide will host Wisconsin on September 13, marking the Badgers’ first trip to Tuscaloosa in program history. Other home games include contests against Vanderbilt on October 4, Tennessee on October 18, LSU on November 8, and Eastern Illinois on November 22. On the road, Alabama will travel to Missouri on October 11, South Carolina on October 25, and Auburn on November 29 for the annual Iron Bowl.
The SEC’s decision to maintain an eight-game conference schedule for the 2025 season means that Alabama will face each of its traditional SEC West rivals, as well as select teams from the SEC East. This scheduling format continues the league’s commitment to providing competitive matchups while allowing for flexibility in the broader college football landscape.
As the 2025 season approaches, these announced kickoff times add to the growing excitement among Alabama fans. The combination of high-profile games, strategic scheduling, and national television broadcasts ensures that the Crimson Tide’s season will be closely followed by college football enthusiasts across the country. Fans are encouraged to mark their calendars and prepare for what promises to be an exhilarating season of Alabama football.
