Update on Alabama football start times vs SEC opponents for 2025 season
Update on Alabama football start times vs SEC opponents for 2025 season Alabama-Georgia kickoff time, TV channel announced. Crimson Tide matchup vs. LSU will be night game.
Alabama football provided some new information related to start times against its 2025 SEC opponents Wednesday.
The highly anticipated showdown between the Crimson Tide and Georgia Bulldogs, set for Sept. 27 at Sanford Stadium in Athens, will kick off in prime time. Similar to last season's matchup at Bryant-Denny Stadium, Alabama-UGA is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. CT. The game will be televised on ABC. The Crimson Tide defeated the Bulldogs, 41-34, in coach Kalen DeBoer's first big test as head coach last year.
Alabama's game at Missouri on Oct. 11 will be an 11 a.m. CT kickoff on either ABC or ESPN. The Crimson Tide will be making their first visit to Faurot Field since Nick Saban's 2020 national championship team opened the pandemic-shortened season there on Sept. 26 with a 38-19 victory.
Not surprisingly, Alabama's annual showdown with LSU on Nov. 8 will also be a night game. Although an official kickoff time was not announced Wednesday, the game will kick off at either 5 p.m. or 7 p.m.
Alabama's matchups with Vanderbilt and SEC rivals Tennessee and Auburn were given the 'flex' window tag, essentially meaning the conference and ESPN haven't decided on official start times. For now, the tag simply means that Alabama won't be playing its two biggest rivals at 11 a.m.
Additionally, the Crimson Tide's Nov. 22 game against Eastern Illinois in Tuscaloosa was announced as a 1 p.m. start. The game will only be available for streaming via ESPN+ and SEC Network+
Prior to Wednesday's updates, Alabama announced its Week 1 kickoff against Florida State at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee on Aug. 30 would be a 2:30 p.m. start on ABC. The Crimson Tide will face Louisiana-Monroe the following week at 6:45 p.m. on SEC Network. Alabama's game against Wisconsin on Sept. 13 will kick off at 11 a.m. and be televised on ABC or ESPN.

Red Sox call up top prospect Roman Anthony
The post Red Sox call up top prospect Roman Anthony appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Boston Red Sox took two out of three games against the New York Yankees on the road this weekend. It may be the set that turns their season around after a dreadful first two months. Since Tristan Casas went down with an injury, fans have been clamoring for one particular reinforcement from Worcester. On Monday, Jeff Passan of ESPN reported that the Red Sox have called up top prospect Roman Anthony, finally granting those fans their wish. Advertisement 'The Boston Red Sox are calling up outfielder Roman Anthony, the best prospect in baseball, sources tell ESPN. Anthony, 21, is expected to join the team today,' Passan reported. And if Passan was not enough, a fan took a video as Roman Anthony pulled his car out of a parking lot. He confirmed that he is heading to the Red Sox. Over the weekend, Roman Anthony stunned the baseball world with a 497-foot grand slam for the Worcester Red Sox. As the Boston club was beating their bitter rivals, Alex Cora clearly took notice. According to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal, Wilyer Abreu went to the injured list to facilitate this move. He also reported that Anthony will make his debut, batting fifth, on Monday. Advertisement Anthony is the top prospect in baseball, according to He is hitting .288 with a .914 OPS in AAA this season in AAA and plays a solid defensive outfield. Boston picked Anthony in the second round of the 2o22 draft, and he quickly rose through the ranks. He started in rookie ball in 2022 and made a stop at every level before Monday's promotion. While the Red Sox do have a poor record to start this year, they have a big week that can turn it around. They welcome the Tampa Bay Rays to Fenway starting on Monday and have another series with the Yankees over the weekend. Anthony could help them make a statement in the AL East.

Advertisement 'It just can't happen,' he said, via ESPN. 'It's tough when you lose a game like that, you feel like that's the reason we lost — little things like that. Just got to learn from it and be better.' Still, Anthony took the field to a standing ovation as he became the youngest Red Sox player to debut since Rafael Devers in 2017, per ESPN Stats and Info. 'It was nice to finally take the field, forget about all the outside noise and just be able to take the field with the guys,' he said. 'Unfortunate we couldn't get a win, but it was a good experience — good to just get the first one over with.' Prior to his call-up, Anthony played 58 games at Triple-A Worcester where he slashed .288/.423/.491 with 10 homers. Red Sox teammates cheer on Roman Anthony's debut Brett Davis-Imagn Images Anthony is the second top Red Sox prospect to debut this season with Marcelo Mayer coming up before him. Mayer, who is hitting .243 in 13 games, shared how he heard the news with Molly Burkhardt. Advertisement 'I actually heard through the grapevine here,' he said. 'Right when I heard I shot him a text, called him. Just expressed how excited I was for him, and that I'd see him soon.' Jarren Duran, a former Red Sox farmhand who is coming off his first All-Star appearance couldn't hold back his excitement either. '[Cora] called me into his office and then just kind of told me and kind of gave me the breakdown, and I was super ecstatic,' Jarren Duran said. 'I mean, I love that kid. He's so funny, and I can't wait to see him and Marcelo back together and see the craziness they cause in the clubhouse.' The Red Sox and Rays continue their series Tuesday night at Fenway Park.
