BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The first two games of No. 16 Auburn’s series against LSU next weekend will be broadcast on national television, the Southeastern Conference announced.

The series finale scheduled for Saturday at 1 p.m. will also be available on SEC Network+ and can be found online at WatchESPN.com and the WatchESPN app.
