TUCSON, Ariz. — The Arizona Wildcats football team will take on one of the nation's most prestigious programs for the first time in 2032.

Arizona will face off against the Alabama Crimson Tide in a home-and-home series.

The Wildcats visit Tuscaloosa on Sept. 4, 2032, and host the Crimson Tide Sept. 3, 2033.

“We are very excited to announce this home-and-home series with Alabama,” said Vice President and Director of Athletics Dave Heeke, in a statement. “Facing a marquee opponent like the Crimson Tide is not only important to our football program, but bringing a high-profile opponent to Arizona Stadium will make a tremendous impact on our community. We look forward to welcoming the Alabama football program to Tucson, as well as an exciting trip to Tuscaloosa.”

Alabama has won 17 national football titles.
