In the college softball world, SEC softball is much like SEC football in the sense that it’s a bunch of teams beating up on each other week in and week out.

And that doesn’t change this coming season for the Auburn Tigers, who released their 2024 SEC schedule Wednesday morning.

Auburn is set to host four SEC series at home and will hit the road for four others.

The good news for Auburn is that the four teams it gets to host might be — on paper — the Tigers’ toughest tests.

Auburn gets to welcome Arkansas (March 15-17), Tennessee (March 29-31), Kentucky (April 19-21) and Alabama (May 3-5) to Jane B. Moore Field this spring. Of those four visiting teams, both Tennessee and Alabama punched their ticket to the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City last spring.

Meanwhile, Arkansas and Kentucky each appeared in the NCAA Tournament.

Auburn’s conference competition arguably softens on the road as the Tigers draw a conference-opening visit to Missouri (March 8-10), followed by trips to Texas A&M (March 22-24), LSU (April 12-14) and Ole Miss (April 26-28).

At the conclusion of Auburn’s regular-season conference slate, the Tigers are then set to host the remaining 12 teams in the SEC for the 2024 SEC Tournament, which comes to Auburn’s Jane B. Moore Field on May 7-11.

Game times and television assignments are to be determined and some dates could shift so that series conclude on Mondays.
