Auburn A-Day live stream added after miscommunication

There’s been a change of plans related to a broadcast of Auburn’s A-Day game.

After originally announcing there would be no option to watch the April 6 scrimmage live, ESPN added a broadcast to its SEC Network+ streaming platform.

The original press release issued Monday that does not include the Auburn A-Day game still appears on the ESPN website but a spokesperson confirmed the broadcast has since been added.

Further questions were referred to Auburn. A spokesman for the Auburn athletics department said it was a miscommunication.

Auburn’s last three A-Day games aired on the SEC Network+ streaming platform.

The original announcement surrounding ESPN/SEC Network plans for spring football games included a note about three schools that didn’t have live broadcasts.

It noted Auburn, Ole Miss and Texas A&M would “produce All-Access shows instead of traditional spring football showcases.” An ESPN spokesperson on Monday confirmed there weren’t plans at that time for an Auburn live broadcast but Thursday confirmed the schedule was updated to include Auburn’s game.

The A-Day Game kicks off at 1 p.m. on April 6 in Jordan-Hare Stadium. Tickets are now available in a presale for $10 a piece while the price rises to $12 if purchased on game day.
