AUBURN, Alabama — Auburn will begin preseason camp Aug. 2.

Auburn's slate of practice days and times for the upcoming season were unveiled to former Auburn lettermen in an email correspondence Friday. The schedule has not yet been released to the media or the public, but Auburn Undercover obtained a copy of the tentative schedule.

The Tigers will practice 14 times in 17 days during preseason camp, including a stretch of five straight days to start camp. The team will practice and/or conduct scrimmages inside Jordan-Hare Stadium on four of the 14 practice days, with the first day inside the stadium set for Aug. 8.

It's believed all practices will be closed to the public, as they have been throughout the Gus Malzahn era. Malzahn enters his seventh season of preseason camp looking to name a starting quarterback in the month of August for the fourth time in during his Auburn head coaching career. Redshirt freshman Joey Gatewood and true freshman Bo Nix are believed to be neck-and-neck in the battle entering preseason practices.

Preseason camp ends Aug. 18 with a morning practice at the Auburn Athletics Complex. Fall semester classes at Auburn University begin Aug. 19. 

Auburn opens the upcoming season Aug. 31 against Oregon inside AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. CT on ABC.
