2024-25 Season Kicks off Tonight

Our 20th-ranked soccer team will officially ring in the athletics' season tonight, taking on TCU in Fort Worth. We will remain in the state of Texas for the second match of the season, facing North Texas on Saturday in Denton. The first home match is set for Thursday, August 22 with a 7 p.m. start against North Alabama.

Volleyball to Host Intrasquad Scrimmage; Meet-and-Greet Luncheon on Saturday

Fans have the opportunity to get a first look at our 2024 volleyball team on Saturday with an intrasquad scrimmage at Foster Auditorium set for 11 a.m. Following the scrimmage, the team will host a luncheon and meet-and-greet at Bryant-Denny Stadium from 2-4 p.m.

Football Readies for Opener

Our football team is two weeks away from kicking off its season and will play the first two games of 2024 at home. We're fortunate to have a pair of night games to start with both the opener against Western Kentucky and our week two matchup with USF scheduled for 6 p.m. kicks. The start of a new year is always exciting, and this year brings even more to the table with us ushering in the Kalen DeBoer era on August 31 and honoring legendary head coach Nick Saban and Ms. Terry with the naming of Saban Field on September 7. We have limited ticket inventory through the Alabama Ticket Office remaining for the opener. Fans can also check out SeatGeek for great seats to the USF game.

Tide Well Represented at 2024 Paris Olympics

The Alabama contingent was strong in Paris for the 2024 Olympic Games with 16 current and former student-athletes from 14 countries this year. In addition, gymnastics assistant coach Justin Spring served as a commentator on NBC for the men's gymnastics competition. It's always special to see the crimson and white represented on the international stage and congratulate this group on all its successes, including high jumper Shelby McEwen, who came home with a silver medal!

September Tide Totals Deadline

The September 3 Tide Totals priority points calculation deadline is quickly approaching. You can support the education of our student-athletes while earning Tide Totals priority points by donating to the Crimson Tide Scholarship Fund (CTSF). The CTSF provides annual scholarship support for our student-athletes, offsetting the costs of tuition, educational fees, books, and room and board. Donors to the CTSF earn three Tide Totals points per $100 donated.
