Kickoff time windows have been set for Arkansas’ Southeastern Conference controlled games this fall.

For the third consecutive year, the SEC will utilize kickoff time windows that feature four windows: Early (11 a.m.-Noon CT), Afternoon (2:30-3:30 p.m. CT), Night (5-7 p.m. CT) and Flex (2:30-7 p.m. CT). Game time windows will be converted to kickoff times six days prior to the game. Flex games will encompass the Afternoon and Night windows before being assigned a window 12 days prior to the game.

Arkansas already has three established game times for the 2026 season: the opener against North Alabama on September 5 at 3:15 p.m. on SEC Network; a September 12 matchup at Utah’s Rice-Eccles Stadium at 9:15 p.m. on ESPN; and the SEC home opener against Georgia on September 19 at 11 a.m. on ABC.

The Razorbacks finish the month of September back home at Razorback Stadium against Tulsa. Kick-off is set for 7 p.m. on SEC Network+.

Arkansas will head to College Station on October 3 to face Texas A&M at Kyle Field for the first time since 2020 in the Flex window (2:30-7 p.m. CT). The Aggies defeated the Razorbacks 42-31 six years ago.

The Hogs welcome Tennessee to Fayetteville on October 10 for the first time since 2024, when they upset the No. 4 Volunteers 19-14. Arkansas and Tennessee will matchup in the Flex window.

The Razorbacks head to Nashville on October 17 for their first opportunity at Vanderbilt since 2011, winning 31-28 on their way to an 11-win season. It will be Arkansas’ third consecutive game in the Flex window.

Arkansas begins the final month of the regular season at Auburn on November 7 inside Jordan-Hare Stadium, where they have won two consecutive games. Kick-off is set for the Early window (11 a.m.-Noon CT) The Razorbacks welcome South Carolina to town on Nov. 14 for the first time since 2022, when they defeated the Gamecocks 44-30. Arkansas faces former offensive coordinator Kendal Briles in the same role with South Carolina in the Flex window.

Arkansas will end the regular season with two rivalry games. The Razorbacks will face Texas in Austin for the second consecutive season on Nov. 21 in the Afternoon window (2:30-3:30 p.m. CT). It will be the third consecutive season the Razorbacks and Longhorns face off beginning at 2:30 p.m.  The Battle for the Golden Boot returns to its traditional place on the schedule for Arkansas and LSU, the final weekend of the regular season on Nov. 28. The Razorbacks and Tigers will face off at Razorback Stadium with the kick-off in the early window to finish regular season action.
