The Alabama Crimson Tide basketball program announced its nine-game non conference schedule for the 2020-21 season. The program had to make several alterations to its schedule due to COVID-19.

The Crimson Tide will open its season on Nov. 25 at home against Jacksonville State before heading to the "Maui Invitational" in Asheville, North Carolina. Alabama is promised at least two-games at the the event against Stanford and then either North Carolina or UNLV.

The Tide will play ACC squad in Atlanta at State Farm Arena on Dec. 12 as a part of Holiday Hoopsgiving. The Crimson Tide will then play two games in a week at home Dec. 15 against Furman and Dec. 19 against Houston. Coach Nate Oats' Crimson Tide will play East Tennessee State the next week at home on Dec. 22 to close out its home non-conference schedule.

Alabama will still have one more non-conference game left when it plays in the SEC/Big 12 challenge. The Tide will travel to Norman, Oklahoma on Jan. 30. to represent the SEC. Alabama last beat Oklahoma in the SEC/Big 12 challenge in Tuscaloosa in 2018.
