West Virginia and Alabama have mutually agreed to cancel a two-game football series between the schools that was set to take place during the 2026 and 2027 seasons. The Crimson Tide were scheduled to visit Milan Puskar Stadium on Sept. 5, 2026, while the Mountaineers were to play in Tuscaloosa on Sept. 4, 2027, according to a news release from WVU Athletics. The move comes after the SEC announced last week that it would be implementing a nine-game conference schedule, eliminating a nonconference spot on its member’s schedules. Replacing the Crimson Tide on WVU’s future football schedule will be Coastal Carolina on Sept. 5, 2026, and Southern Miss on Sept. 4, 2027. The move will give the Mountaineers an additional home game in 2027.
