2026 Iron Bowl Date, Time & TV: Nov. 28 Flex Window
The 2026 Iron Bowl is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 28, with Alabama hosting Auburn at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa. The matchup remained a Flex selection as of Sept. 16, 2026. Alabama's current fan guide lists 2:30 or 6:30 p.m. CT as the possible kickoff slots, but no exact time or television network has been assigned.
Confirmed 2026 Iron Bowl Details
Alabama's official schedule lists Auburn as the final regular-season opponent on Nov. 28 in Tuscaloosa. Auburn's official schedule matches the date and location, listing the Tigers at Alabama. The two school schedules therefore agree on the date, host team, and venue.
The available schedule material labels the game Flex rather than assigning one kickoff time or network. Auburn's June announcement describes the conference-wide Flex ranges as 2:30-3:30 p.m. CT or 5-7 p.m. CT. Alabama's Aug. 28 fan guide narrows its current listing for the Auburn game to 2:30 or 6:30 p.m. CT. Those are possible slots, not a final kickoff assignment.
What Flex Means
Flex allows the conference and television partners to choose the exact slot later. Alabama says the final selection will be announced 6 to 12 days before kickoff. It does not yet confirm the afternoon slot, the evening slot, or a specific network, so the accurate status remains Flex with time and TV TBA.
Ticket and schedule sites may publish estimated times based on past television patterns. Those estimates are not part of the current Alabama or Auburn schedule listings and are not treated as confirmed information here.
Series Context Entering 2026
Alabama won the most recent completed Iron Bowl 27-20 at Auburn in 2025. With that result included, the series record is Alabama 52 wins, Auburn 37 wins, and one tie. Alabama enters the scheduled 2026 meeting on a six-game winning streak in the rivalry.
These figures provide historical context only. Team records, rankings, injuries, and roster availability will depend on the 2026 season and should be evaluated closer to the game.
What Remains Unannounced?
The kickoff time and television network have not been confirmed. Alabama, Auburn and the SEC schedules are the sources for the final assignment.
