Trump to Attend Alabama vs. Georgia College Football Game

Former President Donald Trump announced Friday that he plans to attend the college football game between No. 7 Alabama and No. 2 Georgia on October 10. Trump revealed his plans during a midterm campaign rally at the University of South Alabama in Mobile.

The game is scheduled to kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET at Bryant-Denny Stadium and will air nationally on ABC. Both teams enter the contest undefeated and are considered national championship contenders.

This will mark Trump's third visit to Bryant-Denny Stadium for a football game. He previously attended Alabama's 46-41 loss to LSU in 2019 and a 2024 game against Tennessee, which Alabama won 41-34. Trump also delivered the University of Alabama's commencement address in May 2025.

Trump has made numerous appearances at major sporting events. His attendance at the Alabama-Georgia game comes two weeks after he attended Texas’ 20-17 victory over Tennessee. He has also attended the College Football Playoff National Championship, Game 3 of the NBA Finals, and the FIFA World Cup final. In 2025, he became the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl, and he has also appeared at the Daytona 500, the U.S. Open men's final, the Ryder Cup, the Army-Navy game, and multiple UFC events.
