How to watch Arizona vs. Auburn basketball: TV channel, live stream and game time

Tommy Lloyd and the Arizona Wildcats head out on the road for the first time in the 2026-27 season, taking on the Auburn Tigers Friday evening.

This is game two in a home-and-home series between the two programs, after Arizona handed Auburn a 97-68 beatdown last season in Tucson.

Now the Tigers are out for a little revenge, while Arizona is looking for its first win against a power conference opponent – and to prove the UCLA loss on night one won’t define their season.

Still no RJ Godfrey

Arizona has been without Clemson transfer forward RJ Godfrey amidst his ongoing eligibility battle with the NCAA, and that will still be the case on Friday against the Tigers.

Godfrey initially sued the NCAA for eligibility in the state of Georgia as the head plaintiff in the Godfrey vs. NCAA case. A TRO was granted initially, but the Georgia Court of Appeals then granted the NCAA a stay request, so Godfrey was rendered ineligible once again.

Godfrey and 15 other plaintiffs eventually withdrew from the case when oral arguments were scheduled on Jan. 12, attempting instead to get involved in a case in Texas – although they were denied a TRO there as well.

Now Godfrey has filed a lawsuit against the Arizona Board of Regents, asserting they – by the law of the NCAA – can certify him as eligible and allow him to play. The court has delayed his hearing until Nov. 17, however, so the 6’8 forward will not suit up against Auburn – and that’s a rough game not to have him.
