AUBURN, Ala. – As part of ESPN’s college softball coverage announced Monday, Auburn softball is slated to appear on the network in six national televised broadcasts during the 2026 season.
The announcement brings the program’s national television coverage to seven total games as Auburn’s showdown with Clemson at the NFCA Leadoff Classic on Saturday was elevated to the MLB Network.
Alongside that neutral site contest with Clemson, six Southeastern Conference games featuring the Tigers will air on the SEC Network, including two home contests and four road games. Auburn’s series at Arkansas has been adjusted to begin Saturday, April 4 and conclude Monday, April 6 as part of the television announcement.
Additionally, Auburn is set to provide SEC Network+ coverage for the 25 additional contests at Jane B. Moore Field, ensuring live broadcast coverage for every home game of the 2026 season.
Streaming is also available for both the NFCA Leadoff Classic (Feb. 6-8) and the Mary Nutter Classic (Feb. 19-22).
Every contest of the NFCA Leadoff Classic will be available on GameChanger with select games also airing on the MLB Network. Streaming through GameChanger is free and can be accessed via phone, tablet or desktop. FloCollege will provide coverage of the Mary Nutter Classic. A paid subscription is required.
ESPN will also provide full coverage of the 2026 SEC Tournament, originating from John Cropp Stadium in Lexington, Kentucky on May 5-9. The first 11 games of the tournament will air on the SEC Network. The semifinals and the championship contest will air on ESPN.
In conjunction with Monday’s broadcast announcement, Auburn also released start times for the remainder of its 2026 home schedule.
