Auburn, Baylor agree to move 2025 season opener to Friday, Aug. 29

Auburn and Baylor have agreed to move their 2025 season opener in Waco, Auburn Live’s Justin Hokanson reported. The game will now be played Friday, Aug. 29.

The two sides have been in talks for “awhile” about the move, Hokanson said. If Friday wasn’t available, Thursday, Aug. 28 was an option.

Ultimately, they chose to play on a Friday night, which could create extra TV exposure. That will also allow both teams an extra day to recover for their Week 2 games.

Auburn football’s opener at Baylor is being moved to Friday, Aug. 29. Confirmed. This has been in the works for awhile. The second choice was going to be Thursday. All parties involved like the exposure and the additional day before the next week.
