The Auburn Tigers have added the Jacksonville State Gamecocks to their 2026 football schedule, it was reported Friday.
Auburn will welcome Jacksonville State to Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala., on Saturday, Sept. 26, 2026. The game is a standalone game and not part of a series, according to the report.
“We’ve had the chance to play down there before, and it was obviously a competitive game,” Jacksonville State athletics director Greg Seitz said. “This is a great opportunity for our student-athletes, coaches and fans.”
Jacksonville State was a member of the FCS (Football Championship Subdivision) the last time the schools played in 2015. The Tigers won that contest, 27-20, in overtime. The Gamecocks are now a member of FBS and CUSA.
Auburn rounds out its 2026 non-SEC slate with the Jacksonville State contest. The Tigers have planned games with Baylor (Sept. 5) and Southern Miss (Sept. 12) in that year.
Jacksonville State has a Sept. 19, 2026, home date slated with Georgia Southern.
