Rocket City Classic to feature Auburn + MTSU

The Rocket City Classic has been an annual tradition here in Huntsville, featuring a regular season SEC basketball game. Auburn last appeared in the event in 2023, defeating UNC-Asheville 87-62.

“We are excited to return to Huntsville and play in front of the Auburn family. This is a tremendous opportunity to compete at a neutral site against a perennially competitive program in Middle Tennessee. I have great respect for Coach (Nick) McDevitt and I know he will have his team ready to play.”

Steven Pearl, Auburn head basketball coach

The Middle Tennessee game adds to a non-conference schedule for Auburn with previously announced matchups against Wisconsin and West Virginia. The full non-conference schedule will be revealed later this summer.

Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased HERE.
