The Florida State Seminoles will kick off the start of a highly anticipated home-and-home matchup against the Alabama Crimson Tide on August 30, and the matchup should be a tone setter for what the 2025 season will look like for the 'Noles.

Although a kickoff time inside Doak Campbell Stadium was unofficially reported by Action Network's Brett McMurphy, Florida State has officially released a statement that 3:30 p.m. will be the time the ball flies through the air.

From Seminole Sports Info:

TALLAHASSEE – Florida State football’s 2025 season opener against Alabama will begin at 3:30 p.m. on ABC, it was announced Tuesday at Disney's Ad Sales Up Front presentation. The contest will be the first in the revamped Doak Campbell Stadium.

The Seminoles and Crimson Tide have faced off five times previously, with Alabama holding a 3-1-1 all-time record. The lone game in the state of Florida – in Jacksonville in 2007 – was a 21-14 victory for Florida State.

Florida State will play seven home games in 2025, with matchups against East Texas A&M and Kent State in September; Miami and Pittsburgh in October; and Wake Forest and Virginia Tech in November.

Future kickoff times and TV selections are still to be determined.
