This Saturday features some of the most storied rivalries in all of college football. Auburn vs. Alabama in the Iron Bowl is among the highly-anticipated annual matchups regardless of each program’s win-loss record. The teams first played in Feb. 1893 when the Tigers beat the Crimson Tide 32-22.
Additional Details On Auburn Vs. Alabama
The Crimson Tide travel to Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala. to face the Tigers in the 90th edition of the Iron Bowl. The annual post-Thanksgiving Day game concludes the 2025 college football regular season for both of the Southeastern Conference teams.
Alabama, which leads the all-time series against Auburn with a 51-37-1 record, has won five consecutive games in the rivalry, including last year’s 28-14 victory in Tuscaloosa, Ala. The last time that the Tigers defeated the Tide was 2019 in a 48-45 thriller.
Currently, Alabama has a 9-2 mark and is No. 10 in the College Football Playoff rankings. The team’s lone conference loss (23-21) came at the hands of Oklahoma two weeks ago at Bryant-Denny Stadium. If the postseason started today, the Tide would likely play a first-round game on the road.
Meanwhile, Auburn is 5-6 in 2025 and needs a victory this weekend to reach bowl eligibility. The Tigers fired head coach Hugh Freeze in early November following a 15-19 record over the past two-plus seasons. Auburn football hasn’t had a winning record since the 2020 campaign when the team finished 6-5.
