Duke basketball’s December game against the Auburn Tigers will air on ESPN

ESPN revealed the broadcast details for the 2024-25 ACC/SEC Challenge on Monday, including a national slot for Duke’s game against Auburn.

ESPN revealed the broadcast information for the 2024-25 men’s basketball ACC/SEC Challenge on Monday, and the Blue Devils will host the Auburn Tigers on national television.

Duke and the Tigers will face off at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Wednesday, December 4. The game, which tips off at 9:15 p.m. Eastern time, will air on ESPN.

Under head coach Bruce Pearl, Auburn has won at least 25 games in five of the last seven seasons. The Tigers reached the Final Four back in 2019 and defeated the Florida Gators to win the SEC tournament title as part of a 27-8 campaign last year.

The Tigers are one of a handful of non-conference heavyweights on the Duke basketball schedule this season. Head coach Jon Scheyer leads his team against the Kentucky Wildcats, Arizona Wildcats, and Kansas Jayhawks over a 15-day span in November, all in games away from Cameron Indoor Stadium, before a rare February game against the Illinois Fighting Illini in Madison Square Garden later in the year.
