It’s going to be a big showdown when No. 4 Alabama and Wisconsin battle in Week 3 on Saturday, Sept. 14. The Badgers will host a prime-time game at Camp Randall Stadium for the first time since they faced the Ohio State Buckeyes in October 2023.
Both the Badgers and the Crimson Tide are off to a great start with two straight wins in the first two weeks. Now, as Alabama visits Madison, Luke Fickell's team would want to own the game on its home turf. If they succeed in doing so, Wisconsin might enter the AP Top 25. As the Alabama vs. Wisconsin game is one of the high-profile matchups in Week 3, let’s look at the gameday announcers.
Alabama vs. Wisconsin ESPN college gameday announcers today
The Alabama vs. Wisconsin game in Week 3 won’t feature ESPN’s star-studded 'College GameDay' announcers, including Rece Davis, Nick Saban, Lee Corso, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee and Kirk Herbstreit. Another matchup between the South Carolina Gamecocks and LSU Tigers is scheduled in Week 3 on Saturday, so the ESPN team will head to Columbia instead of Madison. So who will be the announcers for the matchup at Camp Randall Stadium?
The announcers for the Alabama vs. Wisconsin game will be Fox's "Big Noon Kickoff" crew. The team features Rob Stone, Mark Ingram and Matt Leinart and will be operating from UW's campus when the kickoff begins at 11 a.m. CT.

Alabama vs. Wisconsin will be broadcast live on FOX TV. Viewers can also enjoy the livestream of the game on Fubo TV, ESPN+ and Sling Tv. Football fans can also tune in to Crimson Tide Sports Network or Sirius XM: 82 for live commentary.
This rivalry will take place only for the third time despite them being part of the league since the late 1800s. Their head-to-head record stand at 1-1. The most recent matchup between Alabama and Wisconsin took place in Arlington, Texas, in 2015, where the Crimson Tide defeated the Badgers 35-17. However, the first time these two teams faced each other was in 1928, and it was Wisconsin that celebrated a 15-0 victory.
Now, with both teams at 2-0 this season, it will be interesting to see who keeps their winning streak alive. Alabama is favored in this matchup, but with Wisconsin playing on their home turf, they could pull off an upset and grab the spotlight they are aiming for.
