The Iron Bowl, one of college football’s most storied rivalries, brings Alabama’s Crimson Tide and Auburn’s Tigers together annually in a clash rooted in over a century of fierce competition.
Originating in 1893, the rivalry has seen 88 matchups to date, with Alabama leading the series 50-37-1.
In its early years, the Iron Bowl was primarily hosted at Legion Field in Birmingham before transitioning to campus venues in the late 20th century. Each program has had periods of dominance, including Auburn’s six-game winning streak from 2002-2007.
However, since Nick Saban’s arrival in Tuscaloosa in 2007, Alabama has largely controlled the rivalry, going 12-5, with Auburn managing only one win in Tuscaloosa during Saban’s tenure—a dramatic 2010 victory.

Alabama currently rides a four-game winning streak that began in 2020, marked by significant wins, including last year’s dramatic 27-24 victory in Auburn. This contest featured Jalen Milroe’s unforgettable “4th-and-31” touchdown pass to Isaiah Bond, sealing the game in its final moments.
The upcoming Iron Bowl promises to add another thrilling chapter to this legendary rivalry as the Crimson Tide and Tigers meet again on Saturday.
Fans from both sides eagerly await to see if Alabama can extend its streak or if Auburn can reclaim glory.
