Alabama Sets 2025 Homecoming Game Against Oklahoma—A Shot at Revenge?
The Alabama Crimson Tide have officially set their 2025 homecoming matchup, and it’s shaping up to be a high-stakes showdown. On November 15, Nick Saban’s squad will welcome the Oklahoma Sooners to Bryant-Denny Stadium, marking the first time these two powerhouses have met in a homecoming game. The announcement was made by Yea Alabama, the Crimson Tide’s NIL collective, on Friday morning.
This game carries extra weight for Alabama, as it serves as a chance for redemption. The last time these two teams met, the Sooners dominated the Tide 24-3 in Norman, a loss that left a bitter taste in Alabama’s mouth. Now, with the Tide looking to extend their 21-game homecoming winning streak, this matchup could turn into a statement game.
Alabama’s Homecoming Dominance
Historically, Alabama has owned its homecoming games, boasting an 89-13-1 (.878) all-time record in such matchups. Their last homecoming loss came in 2001, and the Crimson Tide have won 21 straight since then. However, with Oklahoma set to join the SEC in 2024, this will be far from a typical homecoming opponent.

Can Alabama Avenge Last Season’s Blowout?
With the Sooners set to enter the SEC full-time, this game won’t just be about homecoming pride—it will be an early conference rivalry test. Brent Venables and Oklahoma made a loud statement in 2024 by shutting down Alabama’s offense, and there’s no doubt Nick Saban and his team will have this game circled on their calendar.
Will Alabama keep its homecoming dominance alive, or will Oklahoma spoil the party in Tuscaloosa? Circle November 15—it’s going to be a battle.
