Auburn Basketball Heads to Greece for Two Matches Against KK Mega Basket

The Tigers will face the Serbian powerhouse in Mykonos, with former player Filip Jovic set to return to the court.

A New Chapter for Auburn's Program

Auburn's men's basketball squad will travel to Greece next month for a two‑game series against the Serbian professional club KK Mega Basket. The contests are set for August 8 and 9 at the P. Chanioti Ano Mera Indoor Hall in Mykonos, with tip‑off scheduled for 7 p.m. local time on each night.

The university has not yet disclosed any streaming options, leaving fans to wonder how they will follow the action from abroad. What is clear, however, is that KK Mega Basket continues to build an international schedule that includes high‑profile matchups.

The Serbian team recently faced Kentucky and is slated to meet Michigan later in August, underscoring its role as a frequent opponent of top U.S. programs. Adding intrigue, former Auburn standout Filip Jovic, now playing for UCLA, previously wore the Tigers' jersey before embarking on his overseas career.

This series also reflects a broader shift in collegiate athletics. The NCAA's rule that limited foreign tours to once every four years was relaxed in April, allowing programs like Auburn to plan more frequent international engagements.
