Auburn and LSU will square off under the lights in Death Valley on Oct. 2.

Auburn will travel to LSU for an 8 p.m. kickoff in Baton Rouge, La., for its SEC opener, the league announced Monday. The game will be broadcast on ESPN.

Auburn won last year’s meeting between the two teams, 48-11, in Jordan-Hare Stadium. Tiger Stadium has been a different story for the team over the last two decades, however. Auburn has not won in Death Valley since the 1999 season, dropping 10 straight on the road in the series since that win.

LSU leads the all-time series against Auburn, 31-23-1, and holds a 15-9-1 record when the game is played in Baton Rouge.

Before the two teams meet Oct. 2, Auburn will first host Georgia State on the Plains this weekend (3 p.m. on SEC Network), while LSU will travel to Mississippi State for its SEC opener (11 a.m. on ESPN).
