The Crimson Tide, which finished last season with a 25-10 record (13-6 SEC), will play nine home games and another nine on the road against the conference this upcoming season. The SEC slate will begin on Jan. 2, 2027, and end on March 6. The SEC Tournament returns to Nashville, Tenn., as Bridgestone Arena will host the event from March 10-14.

A strong argument could be made that Alabama's toughest three-game stretch during SEC play will be from Feb. 6 to Feb. 13. The Crimson Tide will play back-to-back road games against Kentucky and Texas before hosting Arkansas. Alabama went 2-1 against these programs last season, but they all look different entering this upcoming season.
