The Auburn University women's basketball program has released its full slate of conference opponents for the 2026‑27 season, a schedule that blends tradition with fresh challenges. Sixteen SEC contests will be played, eight on the home floor of the Neville Arena and eight on the road, beginning on December 31, 2026 and wrapping up on February 28, 2027.
Home‑court highlights
Fans can look forward to a series of high‑profile home games that include a showdown against Texas, a perennial powerhouse, and a rematch with LSU, the team that finished as the SEC runner‑up last season. In addition, Auburn will also host Arkansas, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Missouri, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt, giving the fan base a varied slate of opponents that promises excitement week after week.
The road portion of the schedule is equally compelling. The Tigers will journey to face Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Tennessee, each of which brings its own narrative and competitive edge. Notably, LSU appears on the road schedule as well, ensuring a home‑and‑home series that adds depth to the conference narrative.
Season timeline and the SEC tournament
The 16‑game conference schedule is anchored by a December 31 start date, a nod to the holiday season that traditionally kicks off the college basketball calendar. The regular season will run through late February, giving teams ample time to fine‑tune strategies and climb the SEC standings. The culmination of the conference campaign will be the SEC Women's Basketball Tournament, scheduled for March 3‑7, 2027, in Greenville, South Carolina, where Auburn will join its peers in pursuit of a championship title.
