LSU Athletics

The SEC released a couple of early time slots for LSU this fall.

LSU and Auburn will kick off at 11:00 am central at Jordan Hare Stadium on October 24. It’s LSU’s first trip to Auburn since 2022. The Tigers will also play early at Arkansas in the regular season finale on November 28. Kickoff will either be at 11:00 am or noon.

It’s not just the road games that will kick early. LSU also draws the 11:00 or noon slot for Mississippi State’s October 17 visit to Baton Rouge.

The Tigers and Kentucky will tangle at night in Lexington on October 10.
