Alabama continues to beef up its nonconference slate in the future as the school has announced a new home-and-home series with Wisconsin in the years to come.
The first game will take place in Madison, Wis., on Sept. 14, 2024, with Wisconsin returning the trip to Tuscaloosa on Sept. 13, 2025.
Following the announcement, Nick Saban offered up the following comment on the series:
“We are excited to add another high-caliber, non-conference game to our future schedule. We played a great game with Wisconsin in Arlington a few years back and this home-and-home series will be a tremendous opportunity for our programs to play in two of the best atmospheres in college football. Matchups like this are so important to the health of college football because it provides fans exciting matchups and players new challenges.”
Alabama AD Greg Byrne also released a statement regarding the football program’s new series.
“We’re happy to have added another quality non-conference opponent for a home-and-home series in Wisconsin. Traveling to Camp Randall, one of the nation’s oldest stadiums, will make for a great road contest early in the 2024 season. Having them return the trip in 2025 to Bryant-Denny Stadium will also certainly provide a boost to our home slate, and we look forward to the opportunity.”
The two programs have only met twice before, with Alabama winning the most recent contest during the 2015 season opener. The Crimson Tide beat the Badgers 35-17 on a neutral field in Arlington while Wisconsin won the first matchup between the schools 15-0 all the way back in 1928.
