ESPN’s College Gameday returns to Auburn for third straight season

For the third straight season and the fourth time under head coach Bruce Pearl, ESPN’s College Gameday pregame show will return next weekend to Auburn for a live appearance at Neville Arena.

The show, set to air on Feb. 17, will run for one hour in advance of the day’s games which includes Auburn hosting Kentucky at 5 p.m.

That game will also be broadcast by ESPN and will be called by Dan Schulman, Jay Bilas and Jessica Sims.

College Gameday came to Auburn in 2023, 2022 and 2020. In the 2020 stop, Auburn was also facing Kentucky. According to a press release from Auburn, it and Kansas are the only schools to host the show in all four of those seasons — the show did not make trips to arenas during the 2020-21 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to the press release, doors to the arena will open for students at 7 a.m. on Feb. 17 and the main entrance will open to the public at 7:30 a.m.

After the show, the arena will be cleared. Auburn has yet to release information regarding students re-entering the arena.
