The Auburn Tigers revealed their 2023 schedule Thursday. The season will be head coach [autotag]Karren Hoppa[/autotag]’s 25th in charge of the Tigers.
“I am excited to start my 25th season on The Plains with what may be the toughest schedule in my tenure here,” Hoppa said. “We have two extremely difficult non-conference trips along with some great home non-conference opponents. The SEC schedule is always a grind, especially in the West division. This schedule is one that will give us the opportunity to compete at the highest level, and we look forward to the challenge.”
Auburn will have 20 matches this season with 10 taking place at the Auburn Soccer Complex. They are looking to improve on their 6-6-6 record from last season.
The Tigers will open their season on Aug. 9 in an exhibition against Mercer. They will then travel to South Alabama on Aug. 12 for their final exhibition ahead of the season.
Their season will officially start with a match against Samford, the reigning SoCon champions on Thursday, Aug. 17. They will then face Troy on Aug. 20 before starting their first road trip of the season.
The Tigers will open SEC play at Mississippi State on Sept. 15 before hosting Missouri on Sept. 21 for the conference home opener.
The final home game will be against LSU on Oct. 22 with the regular season finale coming against Georgia on Oct. 26. The SEC Tournament will start on Oct. 29 in Pensacola, Florida, at the Ashton Brosnaham Soccer Complex with the NCAA Tournament starting on Nov. 10.
