The University of Alabama has announced the date of their homecoming game for the 2026 season.
According to a release from the athletic department, the annual homecoming football game will take place on October 24 when the Tide hosts the Texas A&M Aggies, following a season in which both teams made the College Football Playoff.
Prior to this past season, Alabama won 22 consecutive homecoming games in a row, but the Oklahoma Sooners wrecked that streak when they left Tuscaloosa with a 23-21 victory — before the Tide got revenge in Norman in the first round of the playoff.
Since 2000, Alabama has won 22 of its 25 homecoming games in total.
As for the Aggies, Alabama owns a 13-3 record in the previous 16 meetings between the two sides, last facing off in 2023 in College Station where the Tide came away with a 26-20 victory.
Start time and television information will be revealed at a later date.
