What channel is Alabama football A-Day game? Time, TV for Kalen DeBoer's first spring game
The next "first" of the Kalen DeBoer era will occur on Saturday when Alabama football plays host to A-Day.
DeBoer will coach in his first spring game with the Crimson Tide after Nick Saban took part in the annual spring game for 17 seasons as the coach. But Saban retired in January and handed the program over to DeBoer, who joined the Crimson Tide from Washington.
A-Day will serve as one last big audition for the current roster. Then on Monday, the spring window of the transfer portal will open up. That will give DeBoer and company a chance to add other talent that wasn't available after he dealt with a fairly picked-over transfer portal when he took the job. The spring game will not only serve as an audition but also a chance for DeBoer and his staff to see where it needs to add talent via the portal.
Here's how to watch the game.
