President Donald Trump announced plans to attend a significant college football game next week. The match features Alabama, ranked No. 7, against No. 2 Georgia. Trump shared this during a midterm campaign rally held at the University of South Alabama in Mobile.
Both teams are entering the game undefeated with championship aspirations. The game is set for October 10 at Bryant-Denny Stadium. It will be broadcast nationally on ABC, starting at 7:30 p.m. ET.
This visit will be Trump’s third trip to Bryant-Denny Stadium for a football event. He previously attended Alabama’s narrow defeat to LSU in 2019 and delivered a commencement speech at the university in 2025. Trump’s appearances at sports events are frequent during his second term. Recently, he appeared at Texas’ win over Tennessee and various prominent sporting events, including the College Football Playoff Championship, the NBA Finals, and the FIFA World Cup final.
Earlier seasons saw Alabama and Georgia clashing twice, with Alabama clinching a regular-season win, followed by Georgia’s victory in the SEC Championship. Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart then achieved a notable win in the conference title.
Trump watched Alabama’s memorable game against Georgia in 2024 from a suite alongside key Republican figures. Additionally, he shook hands with former Alabama coach Nick Saban during a visit to address graduates at the University of Alabama.
In 2025, Trump became the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl, expanding his presence across major sporting events, including the Daytona 500 and multiple UFC matches.
