History is going to be made on The Plains. But we’ll all have to wait a while for it.

On Thursday, the official social media account for Troy’s football program announced the Troy Trojans and Auburn Tigers are going to square off on the football field for the first time in history. The game will be a marquee non-conference matchup at Jordan-Hare Stadium in the 2031 season.

“This is a marquee game that I know will excite our fan base,” Troy director of athletics Kyle George said in a statement. “This is a great in-state matchup that our fans will travel exceptionally well to, and that will spark great interest from both fan bases. Thank you to Auburn Director of Athletics John Cohen and his staff for working with us to make this game a reality.”

The game is going to be played on September 6, 2031, in what would likely be the second week of the season. It will be the Trojans’ 28th game all time against teams current in the SEC, and it will also be the first non-conference in-state game for Troy in close to two decades.

Trojan fans far and wide will likely make the trip for what is going to be a historic showdown between the two iconic in-state brands at an equally iconic venue.
