Tennessee and Alabama will renew its football series on Oct. 17 at Neyland Stadium.
The 2026 matchup will feature both schools wearing their home jerseys. Both schools will also wear home uniforms in 2027 at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
The two-year jersey agreement was made in conjunction with both administrations and head coaches, along with the Southeastern Conference.
"This series is built on decades of tradition, and we're excited to bring back a piece of its history beginning this season," Alabama director of athletics Greg Byrne said. "This required collaboration from both schools and the Southeastern Conference, and I'm thankful to President Mohler, Tennessee's administration, including AD Danny White, and the league office for their support and willingness to work together. We believe this will make an already special rivalry even more enjoyable for our teams and our fans."
Third-year Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer also discussed the Crimson Tide and Vols wearing orange and crimson home jerseys in the 2026 and 2027 contests.
"The Alabama-Tennessee rivalry is one of the most historic in all of college football," DeBoer said. "I know how much this game means to our fans, and the tradition and pageantry surrounding it is second to none. This will be another unique element that makes the Third Saturday in October so special to both universities."
