ATLANTA — The University of Alabama announced officials are closely monitoring the weather forecast ahead of the upcoming game against the University of Georgia Bulldogs.

Tropical Storm Isaias is forecast to strengthen and become the first hurricane this season late Wednesday into early Thursday morning.

The center of Isaias is forecast to eventually move through west Alabama, potentially impacting the timing of play for the Georgia vs Bama game, currently scheduled for 7:30 pm on Oct. 10 in Tuscaloosa.

Alabama officials released a statement saying, “at this time, there are no plans to alter the contest. We will continue to observe conditions throughout the week and remain in communication with the Southeastern Conference Office, as needed. Fans are encouraged to rely on official Alabama Athletics and SEC channels for the latest information regarding Saturday’s game.”

The Bulldogs are 5-0 during the 2026 season after a 38-17 win against Vanderbilt during homecoming weekend at Sanford Stadium.

The Bulldogs have also scored more than 40 points in each of their first four games for the first time since 2018.

The Bulldogs are scheduled to play the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday Oct. 10 in Alabama.
