WVU Announces Home and Home Series with Alabama in Football

Published

West Virginia University Athletic Director Shane Lyons announces a home and home series with the Alabama Crimson Tide starting in Morgantown on September 5, 2026 and the return trip to Tuscaloosa September 4th, 2027.

“I would like to thank Alabama Director of Athletics Greg Byrne for his help in putting together this SEC/Big 12 home-and-home matchup,” Lyons said. “With its great tradition and history, it will be exciting to host the Crimson Tide in Morgantown, and it will provide our fans with a great trip to visit Tuscaloosa the following season. Our non-conference football scheduling and the quality of opponents we are playing continue to be second to none.”

These two programs have met only once, back in 2014 in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game in the Atlanta Georgia Dome. The Tide pull away in the second half with a 33-23 victory.
