The Crimson Tide and Hokies are scheduled to meet in Blacksburg during the 2034 season and in Tuscaloosa in 2035
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Alabama and Virginia Tech will play a home-and-home football series between the Crimson Tide and Hokies during the 2034 and 2035 seasons.
The first game will take place in Blacksburg, Va., on Sept. 2, 2034, with Virginia Tech returning the trip to Tuscaloosa on Sept. 1, 2035.
"This series with Virginia Tech is another that we are excited about adding to our future schedules for football," said Alabama Director of Athletics Greg Byrne. "It's been many years since our two programs have visited each other's campus with the last few matchups being played at a neutral site, and while it's several years down the road, certainly a great opportunity at the beginning of the season for our teams and our fans."
Alabama and Virginia Tech will meet for the 14th time in history when the two programs square off in 2034. The Crimson Tide won the most recent matchup, 35-10, in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game in Atlanta, Ga., to open the 2013 season. With the win, the Crimson Tide owns a 12-1 advantage in the series.
"We are pleased to once again be able to add a quality non-conference game to our future schedule," Alabama head coach Nick Saban said. "We have had the opportunity to play Virginia Tech a couple of times in neutral site openers, and we are excited about the home-and-home series."
With the addition of Virginia Tech in 2034 and 2035, Alabama has added seven home-and-home series to future schedules recently, including: Texas (2022 & 2023), Wisconsin (2024 & 2025), Florida State (2025 & 2026), West Virginia (2026 & 2027), Notre Dame (2028 & 2029) and Oklahoma (2032 & 2033).
