Auburn vs MS State will now begin later than originally scheduled, giving fans a revised plan for Saturday’s Southeastern Conference football matchup in Starkville. The SEC announced on Friday, November 13, that Mississippi State’s home contest against Auburn will kick off at 3:15 p.m. CT on Saturday, November 14.
The game will be played at Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field and broadcast nationally on SEC Network. The schedule adjustment was made by the conference following issues connected to Friday’s FAA ground stoppage, according to Mississippi State Athletics.
Breaking Auburn vs MS State Kickoff Update
The updated start time changes the day’s rhythm for everyone attending the game. Mississippi State supporters who had planned their travel, tailgating, parking, or stadium arrival around the previous schedule will need to make adjustments before heading to Davis Wade Stadium.
Although the move is only a short-term scheduling change, the later kickoff is important for fans traveling to Starkville and those coordinating pregame activities. It also affects television viewers, radio coverage, concession plans, and the timing of the Bulldogs’ home-game experience.
What Fans Need to Know Before the Game
- Kickoff: 3:15 p.m. CT on Saturday, November 14.
- Location: Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field in Starkville, Mississippi.
- Broadcast: SEC Network.
- Stadium gates: Open at 1:15 p.m. CT.
- Dawg Deals: Discounted pricing on select concessions runs from 1:15 p.m. to 2:45 p.m.
The revised gate-opening time gives fans two hours to enter the stadium before the opening kickoff. Mississippi State Athletics also confirmed that the “Dawg Deals” discounted concession period will move to match the updated schedule, running from 1:15 p.m. until 2:45 p.m.
Why the Auburn vs MS State Schedule Changed
The SEC said the change resulted from issues related to Friday’s FAA ground stoppage. The conference did not announce additional alterations to the venue, broadcast destination, or game date. As a result, the matchup remains set for Davis Wade Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
For the Bulldogs and Tigers, the adjustment means both programs will prepare for a mid-afternoon SEC start. Players, coaches, stadium staff, vendors, broadcasters, and game-day personnel must all work from the revised timeline.
Fans should allow extra time for parking and entry, especially as a later kickoff may bring increased traffic closer to the afternoon start. Arriving when the gates open at 1:15 p.m. can help supporters avoid last-minute lines and take advantage of the discounted concession window.
SEC Network Broadcast Adds National Spotlight
The Auburn vs MS State meeting will receive SEC Network coverage, ensuring that viewers who cannot attend in person can follow the game nationally. The television broadcast also makes the updated kickoff time especially relevant for fans organizing their Saturday around college football.
Mississippi State Athletics encouraged supporters to monitor official team updates for the latest information. While the kickoff, gates, and concession times have been announced, fans should continue checking trusted Mississippi State football channels for any additional game-day notices.
A Critical Reminder for Mississippi State Fans
The most important takeaway is simple: the Auburn vs MS State game starts at 3:15 p.m. CT, not at its previously scheduled time. Davis Wade Stadium gates open at 1:15 p.m., and select discounted concessions will be available through 2:45 p.m.
The Bulldogs’ home crowd will now have a later afternoon window to gather in Starkville and support Mississippi State against Auburn. With the game remaining on SEC Network, fans inside and outside the stadium can prepare for the revised schedule and avoid missing the opening kickoff.
