AUBURN, Ala. – Two tournaments at Jane B. Moore Field and a slate of midweek tilts against in-state and regional foes highlight the remainder of Auburn softball’s non-conference competition as the program finalized its 2026 schedule.

Auburn’s 2026 schedule also includes the previously announced NFCA D1 Leadoff Classic, Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic and the Southeastern Conference slate.  Wednesday’s announcement features 18 additional contests to complete the 2026 slate.

As part of their Florida road swing, the Tigers officially open the 2026 season at North Florida on Feb. 5 before continuing on to Clearwater for the NFCA D1 Leadoff Classic (Feb. 6-8).

Auburn opens its home slate with the War Eagle Classic on Feb. 12-15. The Tigers will face Illinois, Bradley, Campbell and Binghamton in six total games over the course of the four-day tournament.

After returning from the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic (Feb. 19-22), the Tigers host their final non-conference tournament with the annual Jane B. Moore Memorial. The tournament is slated to run from Feb. 26 to March 1 and features Troy, Virginia Tech and USC Upstate.

The bulk of Auburn’s midweek games are scheduled in mid-March during the team’s BYE weekend from SEC competition.

Auburn will face a pair of in-state opponents in back-to-back games as the Tigers travel to South Alabama on March 17 before returning to the Plains to host Jacksonville State on March 18. The Tigers are also set to welcome Florida A&M (March 23) and South Alabama (March 25) for midweek contests.

The final midweek game of the season is scheduled at Troy on April 22.

Additional start times, broadcast schedule and any changes to reflect Sunday-Monday SEC series will be announced at a later date.
