Stream Alabama vs. Tennessee Week 8 rivalry game free with Sling TV

It’s the Third Saturday in October — a rivalry you have to love because it tells you exactly when it’ll be played each year.
The Alabama Crimson Tide will indeed host the Tennessee Volunteers tonight in a matchup between the No. 6 and No. 11 teams in the country, respectively. You, the passionate college football fan, can stream all the action on Saturday night through our friends at Sling TV.
Why stream tonight’s game? Well, for starters, Tennessee hasn’t won in Tuscaloosa since 2003, and the Vols needed 5 overtimes to pull off that epic win 22 years ago. This time around, Josh Heupel has his offense firing on all cylinders, but the defense is banged up. Most notably, starting cornerbacks Jermod McCoy and Rickey Gibson are out.
Can Ty Simpson and the high-powered Alabama offense take advantage?
Here’s a look at the broadcast and streaming info for tonight’s big game:
- When: Saturday, October 18, 2025
- Time: 7:30 p.m. ET
- TV channel: ABC
- Live stream: Sling TV (starting at $4.99)
Let’s get back to the Tide. WR Germie Bernard has taken a step forward, but expected superstar Ryan Williams is struggling through the midway point of the season due to a concussion suffered in Week 1 and a couple of other nagging ailments.
Kalen DeBoer and the Crimson Tide have won 3-straight games against top-25 opponents, something the legendary Nick Saban only did once in his amazing career. He never got the chance to attempt 4-straight wins over ranked foes. Can DeBoer get the job done?
Make sure to tune in to ABC (via Sling TV) on Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. ET to see if Simpson and DeBoer can guide the Tide to victory, or if Joey Aguilar, Chris Brazzell II and the Vols’ dynamic offense can pull off yet another stunner in this epic rivalry game.
