How to Watch Auburn vs BaylorDate: Friday, August 29, 2025Time: 8:00 PM ETChannel: FOXStream: Fubo (try for free)
Two programs with a rich history enter this Friday night showdown, as both teams aim to start the season 1-0, leaving the other buried in the early rankings.
Auburn enters the season after a disappointing five-win season, looking to reclaim its rank amongst the top teams in the SEC. It has been four straight seven-loss seasons for the Tigers, and they have not reached double-digit wins since 2017. Maybe Hugh Freeze can unlock something now in year three at the helm, but if Auburn can not find a way to get to at least .500 this season, they might be looking to move on.
Baylor was the better team last year, finishing the season 8-5, and much improved from their 3-9 2023 season. Still, the Bears have something to prove in this matchup if they want to be viewed as a serious contender. They will have their eye set on the College Football Playoff, but starting the season off 0-1 might essentially eliminate them from significant contention earlier than expected.
This is a great college football matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
