Auburn baseball at Arkansas: How to watch this weekend’s series in Fayetteville

Auburn baseball travels to Fayetteville this weekend to open the SEC slate against No. 6 Arkansas, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

Auburn baseball gets a challenging draw for their first SEC series in a top-10 squad in Arkansas, but there are some similarities between the two programs. Both teams’ weekend rotations are altered due to injury, and both have a solid power threat in the form of a transfer, which could cause an interesting weekend series.

Auburn enters the series with a 13-3-1 record, most recently winning a thrilling, extra-inning game with Georgia Tech on Tuesday, 12-11. As for Arkansas, they enter the series winners of 10 straight games. Auburn hopes to exit Fayetteville with a series win after the Razorbacks ended Auburn’s season in Omaha in 2022.

“This team finished our season last year in Omaha, so it’ll be good to hook it back up with them and compete,” head coach Butch Thompson said of this weekend’s series at Arkansas.
