Auburn baseball will hit the ground running this month and with it the SEC has released their slate of games that will feature head coach Butch Thompson’s top 5 squad this season. This season looks to be a highlight of the Thompson era as his Tigers club returns a lot of young, dynamic talent mixed in with steady veterans.
Sunday, March 28th at Alabama – 7 PM on SEC Network
As with any matchup versus UAT, this one will be broadcast on SEC Network. Auburn won the series last year winning games 1 and 3 over a Bama team that improved last season and looks to make some more headway in a loaded SEC. Led by top prospect Justin Lebron, the Tide look to be competitive club this season under third year coach Rob Vaughn and should be a great series finale to see unfold if both teams live up to their potential.
Saturday, April 11th 7PM & Sunday, April 12th 2PM vs Kentucky on SEC Network
The first and only home series that will get national coverage comes against a Kentucky team that will look to rebound after a solid year under Nick Mingione which saw the Wildcats finish runners-up to West Virigina in the Clemson regional. Like in a lot of their sports, UK is a team that can give the right teams fits and may prove to be a pain as Auburn looks to jockey for top spot in the conference in the latter half of the season.
Friday, April 17th 4:30 PM & Saturday, April 18th 11 AM at Florida on SEC Network
After a disappointing 2025 campaign by their standards and a whirlwind of an offseason, Florida once again looks to stay atop of college baseball’s elite. Kevin O’Sullivan’s club is once again loaded with top level talent, but due to a controversial offseason the Gators could be in store for a topsy turvy season if they cannot block out the noise. Nonetheless, this matchup will loom large as it could have major postseasons implications for both squads.
Friday, May 1st 7 PM at Texas A&M on SEC Network
Much like Kentucky, Texas A&M will look like to rebound after a tough first year under Michael Earley. The Aggies are a fringe top 25 club entering the season and have some solid talent to be a mid-to-upper-level team in the SEC if things shake out right for them so this could be a tough matchup for Auburn especially if general fatigue starts to creep in late in the season.

Friday, May 8th 7:30 PM on SEC Network

It was a tumultuous 2025 season in Starkville as national championship winning coach Chris Lemonis was fired midseason after a string of unsatisfactory results. Enter in longtime Viriginia head coach Brian O’Connor and a bevy of resources that helped the Bulldogs to sign a solid portal class, top high school class, and retain some of its more key contributors from 2025, the 2026 version of Mississippi State baseball looks to return to the top of the college baseball mountain. A late clash with a dynamic Auburn squad could see both teams fighting for a top 4 spot in the SEC Tournament as well as top 8 national seeds in the NCAA Tournament.
