The 2026 Alabama Crimson Tide baseball team represented the University of Alabama during the 2026 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Crimson Tide played their home games at Sewell–Thomas Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, as a member of the Southeastern Conference. They were led by third-year head coach Rob Vaughn.

The 2026 season was the first season since 1942 where an Alabama pitcher threw a solo no-hitter. Tyler Fay accomplished this in their 6–0 win against Florida on March 20.^[2]
