Schedule

The 2022 Crimson Tide' schedule consisted of 7 home games and 5 away games for the regular season. Alabama hosted four SEC conference opponents Mississippi State (rivalry), Vanderbilt, Texas A&M and arch-rival Auburn for the 87th Iron Bowl to close out the SEC regular season at home and traveled to four SEC opponents, Arkansas, Ole Miss (rivalry), Tennessee (Third Saturday in October) and rival LSU (rivalry) to close out the SEC regular season on the road. Alabama was not scheduled to play SEC East opponents Florida (rivalry), Georgia (rivalry), Kentucky, Missouri, and South Carolina in the 2022 regular season. The Crimson Tide's bye week came during week 9 (on October 29, 2022).

Alabama's out of conference opponents represented the Mountain West, Big 12, Sun Belt and ASUN conferences. The Crimson Tide hosted three non–conference games which were against Utah State from the Mountain West, Louisiana–Monroe from the Sun Belt and closed out the regular season with Austin Peay from the ASUN (FCS) and traveled against Texas (Big 12) in Austin, TX.
