Tennessee and Alabama agreed to wear their home jerseys for the next two Third Saturday in October meetings. Tennessee will wear orange and Alabama will wear crimson at Neyland Stadium on October 17, with the arrangement continuing in Tuscaloosa in 2027.

The 2026 game will mark the first time since 1970 that both teams have worn those home colors for a meeting at Neyland Stadium. The agreement was coordinated by both schools, their head coaches and the SEC.
