LSU football takes a break from its 2026 regular season schedule in Week 9. Head coach Lane Kiffin and his team will not take the field on Saturday during the bye week but learned their kickoff time for a Week 10 ranked matchup.

Alabama comes to Baton Rouge for a Week 11 contest. The Tigers and the Crimson Tide start play at 2:30 p.m. CT on November 9. The game will air on ABC and kicks off a string of three ranked matchups for LSU, which faces Texas and Tennessee in the two weeks following Week 11.

LSU will bring a 3-2 conference record into the game against Alabama. Head coach Kalen DeBoer and his team are 4-2 against SEC teams and are on a bye this week. The Crimson Tide snapped a two-game skid last week with a win over Texas A&M.
