The crimson tide continues to add high profile teams to their upcoming schedules as it was just announced that Alabama has scheduled a series against Wisconsin beginning in 2024.
Wisconsin will get the first home game in 2024 followed by a trip to Bryant-Denny Stadium in 2025.
“We’re happy to have added another quality non-conference opponent for a home-and-home series in Wisconsin,” said athletic director Greg Byrne in a release. “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 to 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.”
These two teams have faced off twice before, most recently in 2015 where Alabama defeated the Badgers 35-17. The other meeting came all the way back in 1928 where the badgers bested the crimson tide 15-0.
“We are excited to add another high-caliber, non-conference game to our future schedule,” said head coach Nick Saban in a release. “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 has now scheduled five home and home series against other major universities. This includes games against Texas (2022,2023), Wisconsin (2024,2025), West Virginia (2025, 2026), Notre Dame (2028,2029) and Oklahoma (2032,2033). There is also a two for one series against USF in 2023, 2024 and 2026.
The home and home series will begin in three years for UA still have three more years of neutral site games against Duke (2019), USC (2020) and Miami (2021).
