Vol Walk time for Tennessee-Auburn football game

The Tennessee Volunteers football team will host Auburn University on Saturday at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee. ESPN will broadcast the Week 5 matchup, which is part of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) season. The game represents a chance for the Vol Walk, a tradition that began on Saturday. The commencement of this annual ceremony will be at 1:10 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) at the Torchbearer statue in Circle Park, where fans can line up to receive their game tickets.

The procession will then move down Peyton Manning Pass, turning left onto Phillip Fulmer Way to enter the stadium through Gate 21A. Throughout the day, the game will coincide with Champions Weekend, a celebration honoring numerous individual champions and championship teams from both Tennessee and Auburn's histories. These include the 2016 dance team, 2006 softball team, 2006 women's basketball squad, 2001 men's outdoor track and field champions, and several other teams and events.

The opening of various game day venues, including the Will Call area and Truly's Tailgate, will start at 11:30 a.m. EDT. The Vol Village, a designated area for fans, will open at noon, while gate opening will occur at 12:30 p.m. EDT. The Pride of the Southland Band will lead the proceedings with a march at 1:50 p.m., followed by their pregame performance at 3:21 p.m. The National Anthem and a flyover by two C-17 Globemaster III aircraft from Joint Base Lindsey Graham in South Carolina will take place at 3:24 p.m. The first kick of the game is scheduled for 3:35 p.m. Fans can stay updated on the event through the Vols Wire on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter).
