The Alabama Crimson Tide football program represents the University of Alabama (variously Alabama, UA, or Bama) in American football. It is part of the wider Crimson Tide athletics program and competes in the Southeastern Conference (SEC), a conference of the NCAA's Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS).

The Crimson Tide are among the most storied and decorated football programs in NCAA history. It claims 18 national championships,^[6][7][8] including 13 wire-service (AP or Coaches') national titles in the poll-era and five titles from before the poll-era.^[8][9][10] From 1958 to 1982, Hall of Fame coach Paul "Bear" Bryant led the program to six national tiles.^[7] Head coach Nick Saban oversaw another golden era between 2007 and 2023, winning six further national titles. It was not until 2009, however, that running back Mark Ingram II became the first Alabama player to receive a Heisman Trophy. In 2015, Derrick Henry became the university's second Heisman winner.^[11] The program achieved two further Heisman Trophies in 2020 and 2021; these were awarded to DeVonta Smith and Bryce Young, respectively.

Alabama has 975 official victories^[a][b] in NCAA Division I (an additional 21 victories were vacated, and eight victories and one tie were forfeited). Alabama has won 34 conference championships (4 Southern Conference and 30 SEC championships), and has made an NCAA-record 78 postseason bowl appearances. The program has 36 seasons with ten wins or more (plus one vacated)^[12][13] and has 46^[b] bowl victories, both NCAA records.^[14] The Crimson Tide lead the SEC West Division with 18 division titles and 15 appearances in the SEC Championship Game. The Associated Press (AP) ranks Alabama fourth in all-time final AP Poll appearances, with 61 through the 2023 season.^[15][16]

Alabama plays home games on Saban Field at Bryant–Denny Stadium, located on UA's campus in Tuscaloosa. Its capacity of 100,077 makes it the tenth largest non-racing stadium in the world and the eighth largest stadium in the United States.^[1] The team's rallying cry is "Roll Tide!". Its official fight song is "Yea Alabama", although "Dixieland Delight" is widely sung as an unofficial anthem. The Crimson Tide's fiercest rivalry is with the Alabama-based Auburn Tigers, against whom it contests the Iron Bowl.
