Auburn’s men’s basketball program has released its complete non‑conference slate for the 2026‑27 season, a schedule that blends early‑season tests with a series of home‑court opportunities.
Early‑season showdowns
The first marquee matchup arrives on November 13, when the Tigers host Arizona at Neville Arena, setting the tone for a season that will also feature a trip to the West Coast.
Before that, Auburn will fine‑tune its roster with three exhibition contests: a home game against Florida State on October 14, a showdown with Alabama on October 22, and a meeting with Samford on October 29, all of which will be played in Birmingham or on campus.
The early home stretch also includes contests against Southeastern Louisiana on November 4, Appalachian State on November 9 and Lipscomb on November 24, giving the team a chance to build momentum before the first true road test.
Road tests and neutral‑site battles
A three‑day swing in mid‑November will take the Tigers to Las Vegas, where they are slated to meet West Virginia, Kansas or UNLV as part of a neutral‑site showcase that promises high‑profile competition.
After the Vegas stint, Auburn travels to Clemson for the SEC/ACC Challenge on December 1, a venue that will also serve as the site of its first true road game of the season.
A neutral‑site clash with Wisconsin is scheduled for December 19 in Nashville, adding another marquee opponent to the slate before the Tigers return home for a series of final regular‑season games.
The regular season will wrap up with home victories over Lehigh on December 22 and Morgan State on December 29, closing out a schedule that blends non‑conference challenges with preparation for SEC play.
