The final listed Alabama women’s basketball exhibition is Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2026, against Mississippi College. Tipoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. Central at Coleman Coliseum in Tuscaloosa.
The matchup comes six days before Alabama’s regular-season home opener against Queens. It is an exhibition, so the result will not change the 0-0 regular-season record shown on the official schedule.

Where the game fits in the schedule
Alabama opened its two-game exhibition slate with a 105-62 win over UAH in Birmingham on Oct. 15. The Oct. 27 Mississippi College game is the second and final exhibition currently listed before regular-season play.
| Date | Opponent | Location | Schedule role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oct. 15 | UAH | Birmingham | Exhibition, Alabama won 105-62 |
| Oct. 27 | Mississippi College | Tuscaloosa | Final listed exhibition |
| Nov. 2 | Queens | Tuscaloosa | Home opener |
| Nov. 4 | New Orleans | Tuscaloosa | Regular season |
| Nov. 5 | Alabama A&M | Tuscaloosa | Regular season |
That sequence gives readers a clearer picture than the Oct. 27 date alone. Alabama moves from the exhibition into three home games in four days beginning Nov. 2, according to the current schedule.
The Oct. 27 event also gives fans a clean dividing line between preseason information and the regular-season schedule. Statistics or observations from an exhibition may provide context, but the official win-loss record begins with Queens. Readers comparing team results should keep the UAH and Mississippi College dates in a separate exhibition column, then begin the regular-season ledger on Nov. 2. That simple separation prevents the schedule from appearing to contain extra regular-season games.
First Coleman look of the new season
The Oct. 27 Alabama women’s basketball exhibition is the team’s first listed appearance at Coleman Coliseum this season. An Alabama Athletics update says the arena received a new center-hung videoboard and sound system during the offseason.
That update describes the Oct. 27 contest as the women’s second exhibition and confirms the 6 p.m. time. It does not promise a particular lineup, playing rotation or game outcome, so fans should look to official team updates for any late personnel news.
What exhibition status means
An exhibition gives a team a game setting before the regular season, but it is not a regular-season contest. Alabama’s official schedule separates the Mississippi College matchup from the Nov. 2 home opener and keeps the overall record at 0-0 before that opener.
Keeping the labels separate avoids adding an exhibition result to the season record or describing Oct. 27 as the home opener. The home opener label belongs to the Queens game on Nov. 2.
How to follow the game
Use the game center on Alabama’s official schedule for current Alabama women’s basketball exhibition audio and statistics links. The listing does not currently identify a television network for Oct. 27, while later games display network information when assigned. Fans should not assume a broadcast outlet that the school has not listed.
For in-person attendance, check the official game center for current ticket, parking, entry and venue information before traveling. Event operations can change, and the live school page should control over a saved screenshot.
The five essential facts are straightforward: Mississippi College is the opponent, the date is Oct. 27, the time is 6 p.m. Central, the site is Coleman Coliseum, and the game is Alabama’s final listed exhibition before the Nov. 2 opener.
The Alabama women’s basketball exhibition offers a final preseason checkpoint, but any evaluation should be based on the game itself rather than an invented prediction about roles or results.
