The 2022 Alabama-Texas matchup is the first game of a home-and-home series that concludes at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Ala., on Saturday, Sept. 9, 2023.
The game will also pit Alabama head coach Nick Saban against his former offensive coordinator from the 2019 and 2020 seasons, Steve Sarkisian.
The announcement of the Alabama-Texas television network and possible kickoff time will be one of several early season games revealed over the next week or two. Kickoff time and television/streaming for most games from Week Zero through Week 3 will be announced in early June, likely just after Memorial Day weekend.
Alabama is scheduled to open the 2022 season on Saturday, Sept. 3 at home against the Utah State Aggies. Texas also opens their 2022 slate at home on the same day against the ULM Warhawks.
Football Schedules
This game at Texas is the first true non-conference road game for Alabama since the Tide played at Penn State in 2011. The Alabama athletic department had gotten criticism for not scheduling true non-conference road games and instead opting to play non-conference big time programs on neutral fields.
