Previous season

In 2019, the Crimson Tide began the year ranked second in the AP Poll and were favorites to repeat as SEC champions. The Tide won their first eight games of the season, but third-ranked Alabama fell 41-46 in a highly anticipated match-up with the second-ranked LSU Tigers, who went on to win the 2020 College Football Playoff National Championship 42-25 against the Clemson Tigers. The Tide went on to win their next two games but ended up falling 45-48 to their rival, the Auburn Tigers, in their final regular season game on a missed field goal that would have sent the game into overtime. This ensured that Alabama would not make the College Football Playoff for the first time since its inception in 2014. In the postseason, the Crimson Tide were selected to play against the Michigan Wolverines in the 2020 Citrus Bowl, which they won 35-16. This was the Tide's first bowl game since 2009 that was not a New Year's Six bowl or BCS National Championship. The Tide finished the season ranked #8 in both the AP and the Coaches Poll.

Schedule

Spring game

The Crimson Tide were scheduled to hold spring practices in March and April 2020 with the Alabama football spring game, "A-Day" to take place in Tuscaloosa, AL on April 18. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the events were canceled.

Regular season

Alabama originally announced its 2020 football schedule on August 7, 2019. The 2019 Crimson Tide' schedule had consisted of 7 home games, 4 away games, and 1 neutral site game for the regular season. Alabama will host five SEC conference opponents: Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi State (rivalry), Texas A&M, and arch-rival Auburn for the 85th Iron Bowl to close out the SEC regular season at home and will travel to five SEC opponents: Arkansas, Ole Miss (rivalry), Missouri, Tennessee (Third Saturday of October) and rival LSU (rivalry) to close out the SEC regular season on the road. Alabama is not scheduled to play SEC East opponents Florida, South Carolina, and Vanderbilt in the 2020 regular season. The Crimson Tide's bye week comes during week 9 (on October 31).

The Crimson Tide also had games scheduled against Georgia State, Kent State, USC and UT Martin, which were canceled before the start of the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[16] On July 30, the SEC announced the non-conference games would be canceled and only ten conference games will be played.[17][18]
