Kickoff time, TV announced for Alabama-Ole Miss game

Kickoff time, TV announced for Alabama-Ole Miss game

Alabama will face Ole Miss on Nov. 12 at 2:30 p.m. CT on CBS, the SEC announced Monday.

The trip to Oxford will be the Tide’s first since 2020, when several records were broken by the end of a frantic, 63-48 win for Alabama in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

That was the first season at Ole Miss for Lane Kiffin, whose Rebels are 18-4 since the start of last season and ranked in the top 11 of both major polls entering their idle week. Alabama beat Ole Miss in Tuscaloosa last season, 42-21.

Next week will be the fourth time this season that Alabama has part of CBS’ game of the week broadcast after the network televised previous games against Arkansas, Texas A&M and Tennessee. CBS’ contract with the SEC allows schools to appear a maximum of five games every regular season, with the Iron Bowl on Nov. 26 likely to fill Alabama’s annual allotment.

Alabama’s game this Saturday against LSU will air at 6 p.m. CT on ESPN, while its Nov. 19 game against Austin Peay was announced this summer as an 11 a.m. CT kickoff that will stream on ESPN+.
