Western Kentucky
The lowest-priced tickets begin at around $20 for the game that will be Kalen DeBoer’s regular season debut as UA’s football coach. The Alabama-Western Kentucky game is set to kick off at 6 p.m. Aug. 31 at Bryant-Denny Stadium with ESPN televising.
South Florida
Ticket prices start just under $40 for UA’s second straight home game to begin the season. The Alabama-South Florida game is scheduled to kick off at 6 p.m. Sept. 7 with ESPN televising.

Georgia
UA’s SEC opener against the Georgia Bulldogs figures to be the toughest home game ticket of 2024. Tickets start at just under $300, with the best seats going for $700 to nearly $1,000. The game will be a rematch of the 2023 SEC Championship Game, which UA won 27-24 in what was to be Nick Saban’s next-to-last game as Alabama’s coach before his retirement. The Alabama-Georgia game is set for a 6:30 p.m. kickoff Sept. 28 at Bryant-Denny Stadium with ABC televising.
Vanderbilt
Alabama will play two games in the state of Tennessee this season, with the first against the Vanderbilt Commodores in Nashville. Ticket prices begin at around $130.
