The 2027 SEC men's basketball schedule was announced this week, laying out an 18‑game conference slate for the Alabama Crimson Tide that begins on Jan. 2 with a road test at Mississippi State.
Alabama will host a key matchup against Auburn in Tuscaloosa on Jan. 30, a game that marks the regular season finale for the Tide on March 6, when they close out the conference schedule before heading into the SEC Tournament.
Beyond the league slate, the Crimson Tide's non‑conference slate features six opponents from last season's NCAA Tournament, a testament to the program's ambitious out‑of‑conference planning.
The team rode a Sweet 16 run in the previous campaign, and head coach Nate Oats is looking to build on that momentum as the new schedule takes shape.
SEC Tournament set for Nashville
The SEC Tournament is slated for March 10‑14 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, where Alabama will join other conference powerhouses in pursuit of the conference crown.
