AUBURN, Ala. — Auburn soccer and head coach James Armstrong unveiled the program’s schedule for the 2025 season Wednesday. The first schedule of the Armstrong Era features 17 regular season matches, including 11 inside the friendly confines of the Auburn Soccer Complex.
“We are so excited to announce such a challenging schedule for the upcoming season,” Armstrong said. “The variety of tactics and play styles we will face from our non-conference opponents will be great preparation for our SEC slate in what is the most competitive league in college soccer. We cannot wait to take the field and grow the Auburn soccer fanbase to heights it has never seen before.”
All matches at the Auburn Soccer Complex are free and open to the public.
A lot of fun to be had at the Auburn Soccer Complex this fall. We cannot wait to see you there💃🎉
