Alabama Cancels home-and-home Series Against Big 12 Program

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — In the wake of the SEC's decision to adopt a nine-game conference schedule in 2026, the Alabama Football program is making adjustments to its existing nonconference matchups.

Alabama and West Virginia have agreed to cancel their home-and-home series that was set to begin in Morgantown, W.Va., in 2026.

"We are proud of the number of high-quality home-and-home non-conference games we have scheduled for the next 10 years," said Alabama director of athletics Greg Byrne. "That being said, we know that college athletics has been evolving and changing rapidly over the last few years, and it made sense for us to make these adjustments on our future schedules. We have a bit more flexibility as we transition to a nine-game format in the Southeastern Conference, and it gives us the opportunity to further evaluate how strength of schedule is evaluated for the College Football Playoff. Between other home-and-homes as well as conference games, we will continue to have a solid strength of schedule, which is good for our team, fans and college football."

To balance this change, Alabama has added a home game against East Carolina to their 2026 schedule.

Alabama's non-conference home-and-home slate over the next ten years:

2025: at Florida State, vs Wisconsin

2026: vs Florida State

2027: at Ohio State

2028: vs Ohio State, at Oklahoma State

2029: at Notre Dame, vs Oklahoma State

2030: at Georgia Tech, vs Notre Dame

2031: vs Georgia Tech, at Boston College

2032: vs Arizona, at Minnesota

2033: at Arizona, vs Minnesota

2034: at Virginia Tech, vs Boston College

2035: vs Virginia Tech
