Get ready for an exciting new chapter in Auburn Football! The 2026 schedule is here, and it's packed with thrilling matchups and historic moments.
The Auburn Tigers are gearing up for a season that promises to be unforgettable. With a mix of traditional rivals and new challenges, the team is set to take on some of the biggest names in college football. But here's where it gets controversial... the SEC has introduced a new format, and it's going to shake things up!
Auburn's 2026 Schedule:
Home Games: Auburn will host six exciting matches at the iconic Jordan-Hare Stadium. Get ready for Southern Miss on September 12th, a highly anticipated return of Florida on September 19th (the first since 2011!), Vanderbilt on September 26th, LSU on October 24th, Arkansas on November 7th, and Samford on November 21st. These games will be a showcase of the Tigers' home field advantage and the electric atmosphere that only Auburn can bring.
Road Trips: The Tigers hit the road for some tough SEC battles. They'll travel to Tennessee on October 3rd, Georgia on October 17th, Ole Miss on October 31st, Mississippi State on November 14th, and finally, the highly anticipated rivalry game against Alabama on November 28th to close out the regular season. These away games will test the team's mettle and showcase their ability to perform under pressure.
The New SEC Format: The 2026 season marks a significant change in the SEC, with programs now playing nine league games. Each school will have three annual opponents, and the remaining six games will rotate among the conference schools. This adds an element of unpredictability and ensures that no two seasons are the same. And this is the part most people miss... schools are also required to schedule at least one high-quality non-conference game annually, adding an extra layer of competition and excitement.
Non-Conference Matchups: Auburn has lined up some intriguing non-conference games. In 2027, they'll host MTSU and Austin Peay and travel to Notre Dame. 2028 brings home games against Georgia Southern and North Alabama, with another visit from Notre Dame. 2029 starts with a bang, as Auburn opens the season at Miami (Fla.), followed by a home game against Jacksonville State and a match with West Georgia. 2030 sees Miami (Fla.) return to Auburn, and in 2031, the Tigers will face in-state rival Troy for the first time ever. 2032 brings North Alabama back to Jordan-Hare.
The SEC Championship: The regular season will culminate in the highly anticipated SEC Championship Game, live on ABC on December 5, 2026. This game will decide the fate of the SEC and determine who moves on to the national stage.
With a 22-game consecutive home sellout streak, now is the perfect time to secure your season tickets and be a part of this historic season.
