Auburn basketball SEC opponents announced for 2023-24 season

Auburn’s SEC basketball opponents for the 2023-24 season are set.

The Tigers will play home-and-homes with five opponents: Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt. Auburn will also host Kentucky, LSU, South Carolina and Texas A&M, and travel to Arkansas, Florida, Missouri and Tennessee.

Auburn opens the 2023-24 season vs. Baylor Nov. 7 in Sioux Falls, N.D. The Tigers also reportedly have non-conference games scheduled against Indiana (December in Atlanta) and Penn (Jan. 2 in Auburn), and will reportedly headline the four-team Legends Classic in Brooklyn, N.Y., Nov. 16-17 against Oklahoma State, Notre Dame and St. Bonaventure.

Auburn went 21-13 in 2022-23, losing to Houston in the second round of the NCAA tournament. Bruce Pearl’s Tigers return most of that team, and also added five-star point guard Aden Holloway, four-year transfers Denver Jones (Florida International) and Chaney Johnson (UAH) and junior-college transfer Chad Baker-Mazara in the offseason.

SEC basketball play begins Jan. 6 and runs through March 9. The SEC Tournament is March 13-17 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn.
