· 2026-06-29
The Florida State Seminoles are set to face the Alabama Crimson Tide in a highly anticipated rematch on September 19, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. ET in Tuscaloosa.
The Seminoles shocked the Tide last year, but eventually won only two of their last nine games.
The game between the Florida State Seminoles and Alabama Crimson Tide in Doak Campbell Stadium last season was cathartic and exciting for FSU.
Lindy's Sports ranked the 15 best non-conference matchups across the FBS level nationally, and the Seminoles-Crimson Tide game is ranked as the sixth-best.
This is a must-win for Alabama, and for Mike Norvell, the Seminoles' head coach.
The Seminoles will look to fully even up the series against the Tide when they travel to Bryant-Denny Stadium for their match.
Before the 2025 game, Alabama defeated the Noles in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game in 2017, 24-7.
The Seminoles' lone win before 2025 came in 2007 at a neutral site game in Jacksonville, 21-14.
The Seminoles are 2-3-1 against the Crimson Tide in their lifetime.
Their next game is vs New Mexico State Aggies on 2026-08-29.
The Seminoles will need to prepare well for the rematch against the Tide.
