Auburn basketball unveils a brutal 2026-27 schedule packed with early tests, road trips, and high-stakes matchups — kicking off with exhibition wins over Florida State and Alabama, then diving into conference fire with Tennessee, Texas, and Kentucky. Coach Steven Pearl’s second year brings a fresh roster of 10 newcomers alongside returning stars Tahaad Pettiford and Kevin Overton. The team hits the road to Vegas for a November showdown against West Virginia (and possibly Kansas or UNLV), plus neutral-site battles in Nashville and Huntsville. With a grueling slate designed to push them from day one, Auburn fans are primed for an electrifying season.

Auburn basketball just added a dynamic guard in Kolby King, coming over from Utah State and set to play in 2026-27 thanks to a landmark NCAA eligibility ruling. With five college stops under his belt, King averaged 7.5 points last season while shooting 48% from the field and nearly 40% from three-point range — including a 20-point explosion against Wyoming. His standout year came at Tulane in 2023-24, where he averaged over 10 points per game. Now joining Tahaad Pettiford and Kevin Overton, King adds crucial depth to Auburn’s backcourt alongside newcomers George Kimble III, Caleb Wilson, and Simon Walker — giving Coach Pearl a versatile bench ready to make an impact.
