Kickoff Time and Television Set for Alabama’s 2021 Football Opener vs. Miami

The Crimson Tide will face the Hurricanes at 2:30 p.m. CT on ABC in Atlanta

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – ESPN announced Tuesday that Alabama football’s season opener against Miami (Fla.) on September 4 will kick off at 2:30 p.m. CT and be broadcast nationally on ABC.

The Crimson Tide and Hurricanes will square off in the 2021 Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game from Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium on the first fall Saturday of the 2021 season. Alabama owns a 14-3 record against Miami, but it is the first meeting between two of college football’s most-storied programs since Alabama’s 34-13 win in the 1993 Sugar Bowl that secured the Tide’s 12^th national championship.

Alabama will then open its home slate on September 11 against Mercer. The game time and television network for the home opener has not been determined.
