The Alabama Crimson Tide's highly anticipated matchup against the Georgia Bulldogs in Week 6 of the 2026 college football season has an official start time and TV channel.
Alabama (4-0 overall, 2-0 SEC) will face Georgia (4-0, 2-0) at 6:30 p.m. CT on Oct. 10 at Bryant-Denny Stadium, the SEC announced Monday. The game will be televised on ABC, marking the fifth time in the first six games the Crimson Tide have appeared on the "Alphabet Network."
Alabama-Georgia had been announced as a prime-time kickoff earlier this year.
It's the third straight year Alabama and Georgia will meet in the regular season, the first time that's happened since 1963-65. The Crimson Tide won a 24-21 thriller on Sept. 27 last season at Sanford Stadium in Athens, a year after
a heart-stopping 41-34 victory at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
Alabama, which is ranked No. 7 in this week's US LBM Coaches Poll and the AP Top 25, crushed South Carolina, 49-18, in Week 4 at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Georgia is ranked No. 2 in the polls and blasted Oklahoma, 41-13, in a top-25 matchup at Sanford Stadium in Week 4.
The Crimson Tide's win in Athens last year was Georgia's first home loss in six years. The Bulldogs won a rematch, 28-7, in the SEC Championship Game on Dec. 6 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Georgia hasn't won at Bryant-Denny Stadium since Sept. 22, 2007.
Alabama faces another top-25 opponent ahead of Georgia when it travels to Starkville to play 16th-ranked Mississippi State (4-0, 2-0) in a battle of unbeaten teams this week. Alabama-Mississippi State is set for an 11 a.m. CT kickoff Saturday. The game will be televised on ABC.
Georgia hosts Vanderbilt (3-1) at 11:45 a.m. CT Saturday.
