Tuscaloosa

Alabama Football’s 2026 Golden Flake A-Day Game will take place Saturday, April 11, at 1 p.m. CT at Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa. The annual spring scrimmage gives fans an early look at the Crimson Tide as the team prepares for the upcoming season under head coach Kalen DeBoer.

Before the scrimmage, fans can experience two beloved Alabama traditions. The Walk of Fame ceremony at Denny Chimes will honor the 2025 team captains as they place their handprints in cement, continuing a tradition that dates back decades. The team will also participate in the Walk of Champions as players arrive at the stadium prior to kickoff.

A-Day is a popular spring tradition that brings thousands of fans to Tuscaloosa to celebrate Alabama football and enjoy the energy of Bryant-Denny Stadium. Due to preparations for a concert scheduled the following weekend, some stadium experiences, concessions, and premium seating areas may be adjusted for this year’s event.
