Auburn’s A-Day spring game officially has a start time.

The Tigers’ annual spring game at Jordan-Hare Stadium will kick off at 1 p.m. on April 9, the program announced Wednesday. A network for the broadcast of the game has yet to be announced, though last year’s scrimmage aired on SEC Network+ and prior years saw the game broadcast on SEC Network.

This year’s A-Day will be the second of the Bryan Harsin era, as the Tigers look to bounce back from a disappointing 2021 campaign that included five straight losses to end the year, which resulted in the program’s first losing season since 2012. This year’s team will begin spring practice March 14 -- the first of 15 practices that will culminate with the spring game at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Tickets for this year’s A-Day game are now on sale and will cost $10 for the general public. Students will be admitted to the stadium free of cost. All seating for A-Day will be general admission, and fans are encouraged to purchase their tickets in advance to avoid long waits on the day of the scrimmage.

It’s the second straight year that tickets have cost $10 apiece after being sold for $5 each in prior years. Attendance for last year’s scrimmage was capped at 40 percent due to health and safety guidelines, but following full capacity at Jordan-Hare Stadium in the fall, no limitations are expected this spring.

Tickets can be purchased online here or on campus at the Auburn ticket office located inside Auburn Arena, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. during the week.
