Kickoff time, TV channel announced for Alabama-Miami season opener



ESPN announced on Tuesday that Alabama football's season opener against Miami (Fla.) on Saturday, Sept. 4, will kick off at 2:30 p.m. CT and be broadcast nationally on ABC.

The Crimson Tide and Hurricanes will square off in the 2021 Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game from Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium on the first fall Saturday of the 2021 season. Alabama owns a 14-3 record against Miami, but it is the first meeting between two of college football's most storied programs since Alabama's 34-13 win in the 1993 Sugar Bowl that secured the Tide's 12th national championship.

Alabama will then open its home slate on September 11 against Mercer. The game time and television network for the home opener has not been determined.


ABC’s Labor Day Weekend coverage also includes the much-anticipated Duke’s Mayo Classic in Charlotte featuring No. 4 Georgia vs. No. 1 Clemson on Sept. 4 at 6:30 p.m. CT. The primetime clash of top-five teams from the SEC and ACC solidifies the return of big-time college football. Earlier that day, Alabama faces Miami in Atlanta. On Sunday, Sept. 5, Florida State and No. 15 Notre Dame will tussle in Tallahassee at 6:30 p.m. CT, again on ABC.

In addition to Saturday’s Crimson Tide-Hurricanes game, Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta will also play host to a second Chick-fil-A Kickoff showdown with Louisville vs. No. 18 Ole Miss on Labor Day Monday (Sept. 6) at 7 p.m. CT on ESPN.

ONE of CFB’s most storied programs. UM was a Johnny come lately that has yet to return to their only glory days since getting skull drug out of NO. Does anyone that plays Bama now earn the title of Storied Program?

There are short stories and there are novels. A story can begin with “A long time ago in a land far, far away. . .” or “Dear Penthouse.” All are stories.
