Alabama-LSU. Crimson vs. purple.
The Tide against the Tigers . A staple in every other sport, Alabama softball has coveted a longstanding rivalry with the Tigers for decades. The Crimson Tide 's super regional matchup with LSU is no different.
No. 1 overall seed Alabama (52-7) hosts No. 16 seed LSU (40-17) for the NCAA Tuscaloosa Super Regional this weekend, with the winner of the series advancing to the Women's College World Series.
Alabama didn't face LSU in the 2026 regular season or in the SEC tournament. The Crimson Tide hasn't seen the Tigers on the dirt since April 6, 2025 in Baton Rouge. And LSU hasn't played at Rhoads Stadium since April 30, 2023.
