Auburn baseball unveils SEC slate; Tigers to visit defending national champion LSU in April

Auburn baseball went 17-13 in SEC play during its 2023 campaign — good for the most conference wins since the 2010 season. The Tigers also finished in the Top 5 of the SEC, which dominated college baseball last year and ended in a all-SEC championship series.

This year, Butch Thompson and the Tigers’ baseball team will look to pick up where they left off in the SEC ranks with a tough conference schedule, which was released Wednesday afternoon.

Auburn gets conference play underway during the weekend of March 15 as it heads to Nashville to meet with Vanderbilt for a three-game series. The Tigers then return home to host the Arkansas Razorbacks the following weekend (March 22-24) before once again hitting the road for a visit to Texas A&M on March 28-30.

Once Auburn returns from College Station, the Tigers host back-to-back SEC series at home at Plainsman Park as Tennessee comes to town the weekend of April 5, followed by Kentucky coming to The Plains the following weekend (April 12-14).

After their two-weekend homestand, the Tigers travel to Mississippi State the weekend of April 19, before heading to Baton Rouge, where Auburn will square off against the defending national champion LSU Tigers in a three-game series spanning from April 26-April 28.

The month of May features a home series against Ole Miss on May 3-5 and a visit to Missouri on May 10-12 before the Tigers wrap up conference play with a rivalry series at home against the Alabama Crimson Tide on May 16, 17 and 18.

At the conclusion of its regular season conference schedule, Auburn and the rest of the league will return to Hoover Met Stadium for the SEC Tournament, which spans from May 21 to May 26.
