Alabama enters the 2021 season as the defending consensus national champions and defending SEC champions.

Previous season

They finished the season undefeated with a record of 13–0 (10–0 in the SEC) and as national champions. Looking to build on the successes of the 2019 campaign, Alabama entered the 2020 season as the favorite to win the Western Division and meet the Florida Gators in the 2020 SEC Championship Game. Alabama closed the regular season with a 11–0 record including five wins against Top 25-ranked teams—and met the Gators for the SEC Championship in a rematch of the 2016 contest. Alabama was victorious by a final score of 52–46 to captured their 9th SEC championship title. The following day, final College Football Playoff(CFP) standings were unveiled. No. 1 ranked Alabama would meet No. 4 ranked Notre Dame for the Rose Bowl game in a rematch of the 2013 contest, defeated the Fighting Irish 31–14 to meet No. 3 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes for the College Football Playoff National Championship Game in a rematch of their 2015 contest. In the College Football Playoff National Championship, the Crimson Tide defeated the Buckeyes, 52–24, to capture their third CFP National Championship title in seven years. The victory over Ohio State gave Alabama their 18th national championship in football (their thirteenth wire service title since the AP Poll began in 1936) and their tenth perfect season since 1925.

The season marked the first time a wide receiver at Alabama won the Heisman Trophy, as DeVonta Smith won the award over several finalists including Clemson Tigers quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Other award winners included quarterback Mac Jones, who won the Davey O’Brien Award and Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, running back Najee Harris who won the Doak Walker Award and offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian, who won the Broyles Award as the nation's top assistant coach. Also, six players were named to various All-America Teams with Patrick Surtain II, DeVonta Smith, and Mac Jones being consensus selections and Smith and Surtain each being unanimous selections.

The team finished the 2020 season with a final ranking of No. 1 in both the AP and Coaches' Polls.

Main article: 2021 Southeastern Conference football season

Spring game

The Crimson Tide held spring practices in March and April with the Alabama football spring game, "A-Day", held on April 17. Due to COVID-19 and limited capacity at the stadium, tickets were sold, a change from previous years when fans could attend without paying admission. The announced attendance at the game was 47,218.[26]

Regular season

The 2021 Crimson Tide' schedule consists of 7 home games, 4 away games, and 1 neutral site game for the regular season. Alabama will host four SEC conference opponents Arkansas, Ole Miss (rivalry), Tennessee (Third Saturday in October) and rival LSU (rivalry) to close out the SEC regular season at home and will travel to four SEC opponents Florida (rivalry), Mississippi State (rivalry), Texas A&M, and arch-rival Auburn for the 86th Iron Bowl to close out the SEC regular season on the road. Alabama is not scheduled to play SEC East opponents Georgia (rivalry), Kentucky, Missouri, South Carolina, and Vanderbilt in the 2021 regular season. The Crimson Tide's bye week comes during week 9 (on October 30, 2021).

Alabama's out of conference opponents represent the ACC, C-USA, Independents and Southern. The Crimson Tide will host four non–conference games which are against New Mexico State from the FBS independents, Southern Miss from the Conference USA and Mercer from the SoCon to close out the regular season and host Miami (FL) (ACC) in Atlanta, GA in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game.
