Iron Bowl Set for Prime-Time Showdown: Alabama Faces Auburn in Night Game with Playoff Implications

AUBURN, AL – The highly anticipated Iron Bowl between Alabama and Auburn will kick off at 6:30 p.m. CT on Saturday, November 29th, at Jordan-Hare Stadium. The game will be broadcast nationally on ABC, marking the first night Iron Bowl since 2014 and the first under the lights in Auburn since 2009.

The No. 10 Crimson Tide (8-2, 6-1 SEC) enter the rivalry game fresh off a 23-21 loss to Oklahoma. For Alabama, the stakes are incredibly high. A victory against the Tigers is crucial for their College Football Playoff hopes, while a loss could potentially knock them out of contention. Despite the loss, the Crimson Tide can still make the SEC Championship Game with a win over Auburn and favorable outcomes in other conference matchups.

Auburn, meanwhile, will be led by interim coach DJ Durkin.

Before the Iron Bowl, Alabama will face Eastern Illinois, and Auburn will play Mercer. The Iron Bowl has seen change at the helm for one of the teams for each of the past six years, adding another layer of unpredictability to this storied rivalry.

College football fans mark your calendars for what’s sure to be an electrifying edition of the Iron Bowl.
