In the 2016 preseason fall exhibition games the Tigers were 8-0, only surrendering 3 runs.

In December 2015, Jane B. Moore Field began an 821-seat expansion along with more rest rooms, and will reconfigure the front of the stadium to add a grassy area for fans and kids before the first game.

The Tigers 2016 regular season began on February 11 at home against Appalachian State. SEC Play began on March 12, when the Tigers hosted the #1 Florida Gators.

Auburn finished the regular season in a tie for 3rd place within the conference, and received the 4th seed in the 2016 SEC Softball Tournament.
