The LSU Tigers will face off against the Alabama Crimson Tide in a primetime SEC showdown on November 9 at 6:30 p.m. CT in Tiger Stadium, the Southeastern Conference announced Monday. This pivotal matchup will be broadcast nationally on ABC, drawing major attention as both teams fight to stay in the hunt for the College Football Playoff.

LSU and Alabama’s rivalry is among the most storied in college football, marked by intense battles, nail-biting finishes and unforgettable moments. Both teams are once again ranked in the Top 25, making this game a must-watch contest that could impact the SEC standings and playoff race. The Tigers (6-2) head into their bye week focused on regrouping and preparing for the 6-2 Crimson Tide, who also have a bye this week.

The Tigers slipped to No. 16 on both lists — down eight and nine spots, respectively — following their 38-23 loss at Texas A&M.  Alabama is No. 14 on both lists.

For LSU, this game represents a critical test as they aim to bounce back after a tough loss to Texas A&M. Led by head coach Brian Kelly, the Tigers are determined to capitalize on the bye week to strengthen both their rushing and defensive performances. With quarterback Garrett Nussmeier under center, LSU will look to bring a balanced offensive attack against Alabama’s defense and need to slow down ‘Bama QB Jalen Milroe, who rushed for over 150 yards and four touchdowns on the Tigers last season.

The stakes are equally high for both teams. The Saturday night showdown will basically now be a CFB Playoff elimination game.
