Auburn now knows its full SEC schedule for the 2024 football season. On Wednesday, the Southeastern Conference released which opponents each member of the conference will face in 2024, including Texas and Oklahoma.
The announcement confirmed that each SEC team will play an eight-game conference schedule in 2024. However, the conference will reevaluate the scheduling format for the 2025 season and beyond at a later time, possibly considering a nine-game conference schedule as every other Power Five conference plays.
As a part of the announcement, Auburn found out it will still face both of its top rivals in Alabama in the Iron Bowl and Georgia in the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry.
The Tigers will also host one of the newcomers, the Oklahoma Sooners. The matchup will mark just the third time the two programs have met and the first time Oklahoma will travel to Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Here is the complete list of Auburn’s SEC opponents for the 2024 season: at Alabama, at Georgia, at Kentucky, at Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt.
Dates for the SEC matchups were not announced.
With the exclusion of LSU from Auburn’s schedule, the Tigers will not face one another for the first time since 1991.
As for the nonconfernce games, Auburn’s out-of-counference opponents include California, New Mexico and Louisiana Monroe. Every nonconference game currently scheduled is a home game for the Tigers while Auburn has one game left to fill for the 2024 season.
While the SEC coaches and presidents agreed to an eight-game schedule for the 2024 season, the conference will scrap the East and West divisions starting in 2024. With divisions out of the picture, the two teams with the best conference record will square off in the SEC Championship, allowing the possibility of Auburn facing a team previously in the West in the SEC Championship. The SEC has used divisions since 1992.
As for the 2023 season, Auburn kicks off the Hugh Freeze era on Sept. 2 against the UMass Minutemen.
