What’s New for Alabama Football Game Day 2025

As the countdown to kickoff begins, excitement is building for another unforgettable season of Alabama Crimson Tide football.

The home opener is set for Saturday, Sept. 6, when the Tide takes on the University of Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks at Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Kickoff is set for 6:45 p.m.

Whether you’re a longtime season ticket holder or a first-time visitor, the 2025 season brings a host of new features and fan-focused upgrades designed to make your game day experience smoother, safer, and more memorable than ever.

Here’s what’s new for UA Gameday 2025:

New UA Gameday Website

The newly redesigned UA Gameday website offers fans a streamlined experience with improved accessibility and navigation. A new directions page helps fans easily locate their designated parking lots, making arrival and departure more efficient.

Mobile Ticket Security Upgrades

Apple users will benefit from enhanced ticket security thanks to Apple Account Binding, which links mobile tickets to your Apple ID. This prevents unauthorized sharing while maintaining the same easy entry process. Learn how to add your tickets to your Apple Wallet at RollTide.com.
