Fans of Alabama football can now effectively plan their schedules for Saturday, April 13.

The University of Alabama unveiled the time of this year's annual spring game. Kalen DeBoer's first A-Day as the Crimson Tide's head coach from Bryant-Denny Stadium will be at 3 p.m. After missing out on the College Football Playoff National Championship matchup in 2023, the Tide is hungry to return to the CFP and win it all in the post-Nick Saban era.
