Alabama finally knows its opponents for the upcoming season. After announcing its move to a 10-game conference-only schedule last week, the SEC revealed the two additional opponents each of its teams will face for the coming season during a broadcast on SEC Network on Friday afternoon.

Alabama will be adding a trip to Missouri and a home matchup against Kentucky to its slate this season. The Crimson Tide will need to wait to see when those two games take place as the SEC is set to release each team’s full schedule within the next two weeks as it continues to monitor developments around COVID-19.

“We made every effort to create a schedule that is as competitive as possible and builds on the existing eight Conference games that had already been scheduled for 2020,” SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey said in a statement. “This schedule is a one-year anomaly that we have developed under unique circumstances presented by the impact of COVID-19.”

Alabama was already scheduled to play home games against Georgia, Mississippi State, Texas A&M and Auburn as well as road games against Ole Miss, Arkansas, Tennessee and LSU this season.

Alabama is 4-2 all-time against Missouri with wins in its last four games. The last meeting between the two schools occurred in 2018 when the Crimson Tide won 39-10 inside Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Alabama holds a more lopsided advantage over Kentucky, boasting a 37-2-1 all-time record against the Wildcats. Alabama is riding a six-game winning streak over Kentucky, with its most recent meeting coming in a 34-6 home win in 2016.

Here’s a look at the two new conference opponents for each SEC team:
