Auburn volleyball fans, mark your calendars! The Tigers have officially released their 2026 non-conference schedule, and it's packed with exciting matchups that promise to set the stage for another competitive season.

The action kicks off on August 20 with an exhibition match against Georgia Tech at Neville Arena in Auburn, Alabama—a perfect opportunity for fans to get their first look at the squad in action. From there, the Tigers hit the road for a tournament hosted by Eastern Tennessee on August 28-29, where they'll face Akron, ETSU, and Liberty in that order.

September brings the real tests. The highlight comes on September 2-3 with the SEC/Big Ten Challenge, as Auburn travels to Madison, Wisconsin, to take on Minnesota and then Wisconsin—two powerhouse programs that will push the Tigers to their limits. Staying on the road, the team heads to Tallahassee, Florida, on September 9 for the Showdown at the Net against Florida State.

Before wrapping up non-conference play at home, Auburn will compete in the DePaul Tournament from September 12-14, facing UIC, Central Michigan, and DePaul. The Tigers then return to Neville Arena for the Alabama Showdown on September 17-19, hosting UAB, Samford, and South Alabama in a three-day homestand.

Last season, Auburn posted a solid 17-11 overall record, including a 9-2 mark in non-conference play before diving into SEC competition. With this challenging 2026 slate, the Tigers are poised to build on that momentum and gear up for another strong run. Whether you're cheering from the stands or repping your Auburn gear at home, this fall is shaping up to be one to remember!
