The 2008 Alabama Crimson Tide football team will represent the University of Alabama in the college football season of 2008-2009. The team's head coach is Nick Saban, who is entering his second year at Alabama. They play their home games at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and compete in the Western Division of the Southeastern Conference. They will try to improve upon a 7–6 record from the 2007 season.
The season opener for these two major NCAA Football teams will be at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia, a neutral site. The Alabama vs. Clemson game on August 30 will be the first time in several years that Alabama's first game is not the home opener.
