How many ranked opponents will Auburn football face in 2026?

Both the US LBM Coaches Poll and Associated Press poll have been released, meaning that the 2026 college football season is drawing ever closer.

The Auburn Tigers received votes in both preseason polls, receiving 29 votes in the coaches poll and three votes in the AP poll. Despite being outside of the preseason top 25 polls, Auburn has the chance to boost its stock quickly by picking up wins against several teams on its schedule.

Heading into the season, seven teams on Auburn's 2026 slate are either ranked or receiving votes ahead of the season. Out of those seven, five are in the top 20 of both polls and two teams are in the top 10 of the AP poll, which provides Auburn with plenty of challenges ahead of the first season of the Alex Golesh era.

Here is a rundown of Auburn football's 2026 schedule, and where its opponents rank in the preseason polls.
