The 2026 Auburn Tigers football team will compete in the Southeastern Conference (SEC) under first-year head coach Alex Golesh, playing their home games at Jordan–Hare Stadium. During the offseason, the program experienced major turnover, with five players selected in the 2026 NFL Draft, 37 players entering the transfer portal, and 39 new players arriving via the portal—a class ranked No. 13 nationally by 247Sports. The spring season concluded with the "A-Day" game on April 18, where Team White defeated Team Blue 66–43. The regular-season schedule is highlighted by fierce conference rivalries, including the Iron Bowl against Alabama, the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry with Georgia, and matchups against LSU, Tennessee, and Ole Miss, alongside non-conference games against Baylor, Southern Miss, and Samford. With a rebuilt roster and a new coaching staff, the Tigers aim to make an immediate impact in the 2026 season.
