Auburn Volleyball Hosts Georgia Tech in Exhibition as Fall Sports Ramp Up

August 19, 2026 — Auburn, AL

Auburn volleyball unofficially opened its 2026 season Thursday by hosting Georgia Tech for an exhibition match at Neville Arena, a tune-up before the regular season begins the following weekend.

The Tigers were picked seventh in the SEC preseason poll, with outside hitter Dreves named preseason All-SEC. Auburn soccer, which opened the athletic year at home against No. 25 Clemson, has also been rolling early in the fall schedule.
