Discover the details on Auburn's exciting 2026 football season, including key player returns, leadership changes, and ticket pricing for fans looking to catch the action live.

Auburn fans who want to be in the building for the 2026 season have a full slate to plan around, and the price range is wide enough to fit plenty of different budgets.

Season tickets begin at $1,000, while individual game tickets run from $30 for Samford all the way up to $235 for Florida. Those are the latest figures for fans looking to lock in seats for Alex Golesh’s first season on the Plains.

Florida comes to Auburn on Sat., Sept. 19 for a 7 p.m. kickoff, followed by Vanderbilt on Sat., Sept. 26 with time still to be determined. After that, the Tigers head to Tennessee on Sat., Oct. 3 and Georgia on Sat., Oct. 17, with both game times listed as TBD.

Auburn returns home to face LSU at noon on Sat., Oct. 24, then goes to Ole Miss on Sat., Oct. 31. The final stretch includes a home game against Arkansas on Sat., Nov. 7, a trip to Mississippi State on Sat., Nov. 14, a home date with Samford on Sat., Nov. 21 at 3:30 p.m., and the regular-season finale at Alabama on Sat., Nov. 28 with kickoff time still undecided.

Why Auburns New Offense Is Suddenly Turning Heads In The SEC

Auburns new offense is already drawing attention around the SEC, and it is easy to see why.

Even with Florida and Miami making pushes to change the picture, Auburn continues to hear the right things from one of its most important pledges. That matters even more after the Tigers already lost two other 2027 commits to flips, leaving the staff hoping this one holds as the class keeps taking shape. [Read more 🡒]
