Alabama’s men’s basketball program has unveiled its complete 2026‑27 schedule, a slate that blends a strong home opening with a rigorous road circuit across the nation.
The Crimson Tide will begin the campaign with a five‑game homestand before hitting the road to take on Sam Houston on November 3, setting an early tone for the season.
Conference play opens on January 2 at Mississippi State, and the team will make its fifth straight appearance in Knoxville to meet Tennessee, a rivalry that has become a staple of the SEC calendar.
Neutral‑site tests and marquee road trips
Beyond the league slate, Alabama will test itself at neutral sites, highlighted by a participation in the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas, a stop in New York City, and a trip to Des Moines, Iowa, each offering unique competitive challenges.
The schedule also features an 18‑game SEC slate, culminating with the traditional showdown against Auburn on March 6, promising a season that could shape the team’s NCAA tournament aspirations.
