The 'Canes will face the Auburn Tigers in a home-and-home series, with Miami hosting the first meeting on September 1, 2029 inside Hard Rock Stadium and traveling to Auburn, AL for the second game on August 31st, 2030.
“We remain committed to scheduling top programs for our non-conference games and these two matchups will be a terrific showcase for two passionate and tradition-rich fan bases," athletics director Blake James said in a statement.
The teams have met 11 times before, but have not played since the 1984 season opener - a 20-18 victory for Miami played in East Rutherford, NJ in the first game under former head coach Jimmy Johnson.
