According to AL.com, Alabama will play a charity exhibition game against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons on October 18.

The game will be played in Birmingham, Alabama, and proceeds will benefit Children's of Alabama.

The school has yet to announce the exhibition, but it was announced by the City of Birmingham, branded as "Bama in Boutwell."

Boutwell Auditorium is located next to Birmingham City Hall. It opened in 1924, and seats around 20,000 people.

"It has been 45 years since this venue has hosted a basketball game," Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin said, according to AL.com. Alabama opened its season in 1979 by playing Maine in Birmingham.

Alabama is slated to play in Birmingham in the regular season in the C.M. Newton Classic on November 20. The Crimson Tide will take on the Illinois Fighting Illini in the neutral-site matchup.

Wake Forest is the second exhibition of the Crimson Tide's schedule for the 2024-2025 season. Alabama will play an exhibition game against Memphis on October 28 at Huntsville's Von Braun Center before opening its regular season on November 4 in Coleman Coliseum against UNC-Asheville.

Alabama and Wake Forest met last October in an exhibition game in Winston-Salem.
