The Florida State Seminoles are slated to travel to Tuscaloosa on September 19, 2026, for a primetime clash with the Alabama Crimson Tide, kicking off at 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time at Bryant‑Denny Stadium.
The reunion comes after a 2‑3‑1 all‑time series that has seen the Seminoles claim just one victory, a 21‑14 win in Jacksonville back in 2007, while Alabama’s most recent triumph was a 24‑7 shutout in the 2017 Chick‑fil‑A Kickoff Game.
Ranking the Rematch
Lindy’s Sports has placed the contest sixth on its list of the top non‑conference games, a nod to the growing intrigue surrounding the program’s renewed competitiveness under head coach Mike Norvell.
Fans can expect a high‑stakes atmosphere as the two powerhouses meet outside their regular conference schedules, a scenario that has become increasingly rare in modern college football.
What’s at Stake
Beyond bragging rights, the game offers each team a chance to fine‑tune strategies before conference play, and a win could shape early‑season rankings and recruiting narratives.
