Alabama basketball received the tipoff times and TV assignments for its 18 SEC games this season. The Crimson Tide finished fourth in the SEC last season and lost in the quarterfinals of the conference tournament to Florida.

SEC play tips off on Saturday, Jan. 4, and runs through Saturday, March 8. The Crimson Tide will open SEC play against conference newcomer Oklahoma at 5 p.m. CT on SEC Network opening night.

Conference play will look a little different for the Crimson Tide this season after the SEC expanded to add Oklahoma and Texas. Alabama will still play 18 conference games, but instead of three fixed rivals and two rotating opponents twice each season, the Tide and the rest of the league will now play two of its permanent rivals with one rotating opponent that will change each year.

Alabama maintained its fixed rivalries with Auburn and Mississippi State. Next season the Crimson Tide will host Auburn at 3 p.m. CT Feb. 15 on ESPN or ESPN 2 and travel to Neville Arena to face the Tigers at 1 p.m. CT March 8. Alabama will face the Bulldogs at 8 p.m. CT on Jan. 29 in Starkville, Mississippi on SEC Network and at 8 p.m. CT on Feb. 25 inside Coleman Coliseum on either ESPN 2 or ESPN U.

The SEC dropped Tennessee as Alabama’s third permanent rivalry game. The Crimson Tide and Volunteers will square off in their only matchup at either noon or 3 p.m. on March 1 in Knoxville, Tennessee.

The Tide’s rotating two-game opponent in 2024-25 is Kentucky, which will head into the season with a coach not named John Calipari for the first time since the 2009-10 campaign. Alabama will host Kentucky at 5 p.m. CT on Feb. 22 on ESPN and travel to Rupp Arena to face the Wildcats at 11 a.m. on Jan. 18 on ESPN.

Speaking of Calipari, the four-time SEC Coach of the Year winner departed Kentucky to take the job at Arkansas. Alabama ended SEC play against the Razorbacks last season and will face them in 2024-25 at 7 p.m. CT on Feb. 8 in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

The Crimson Tide's first-ever conference meeting against Texas will come on the road at 8 p.m. CT on Feb. 11. That game will be aired on either ESPN or ESPN 2.
