FAYETTEVILLE – The Southeastern Conference released the men’s basketball home and away conference opponents for the 2026-27 season. The Razorbacks will play Alabama, LSU and Missouri twice during the regular season, once at home and once on the road.
Arkansas will face the other 12 SEC teams once. The Razorbacks will host Florida, Georgia, Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Oklahoma at Bud Walton Arena and will travel to face Auburn, Kentucky, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Texas A&M.
League play tips off on Saturday, January 2, and runs through Saturday, March 6. Each SEC team plays the other 15 teams at least once during league play. Three teams will be played a second time during the schedule – two of which are permanent opponents and one that will change each year.
The SEC Tournament returns to Nashville, Tenn., as Bridgestone Arena will host the event from March 10-14, 2027.

Notes:
● Under the new scheduling format, this will be the second-straight year Arkansas will face both LSU and Missouri twice as SEC-designated “permanent opponents.”
● Arkansas and LSU have met for a home-and-home series in all but two seasons since the Razorbacks joined the SEC for the 1991-92 season. The Razorbacks and Tigers only met once in 2013 (in Baton Rouge) and just once in 2015 (in Fayetteville). Arkansas leads the Tigers 42-32 since the Razorbacks joined the SEC. Since Arkansas joined the SEC, the Tigers are the Razorbacks’ most common SEC opponent with 72 meetings followed by Mississippi State (62), Auburn (62), Alabama (61) and Ole Miss (61).
● Arkansas and Missouri will be playing a home-and-home series for the 15th consecutive year. The streak coincides with the number of years since the Tigers joined the SEC (2012-13). Arkansas leads the all-time series with Missouri, 38-28, and leads 19-10 since the Tigers joined the SEC, including wins in 10 of the last 12 meetings.
● The last time Arkansas and Alabama met faced each other twice in the regular season was the 2022-2023 campaign. Alabama swept the series that season, winning 84-69 in Fayetteville and 86-83 in Tuscaloosa. The Razorbacks hold a one game advantage against the Crimson Tide all time, 36-35, but trail Alabama 32-29 since the Hogs joined the SEC. Alabama has won six straight in the series. Since 2020, six of the nine meetings between the two schools have been at Coleman Coliseum in Tuscaloosa.
● For just the third consecutive year and the fifth time since Texas A&M joined the SEC (2012-13), Arkansas and the Aggies will meet just once in the regular season. Texas A&M is Arkansas’ most common opponent with 171 games played in the series since the Hog’s first year of basketball (1923-24). Arkansas leads the all-time series with the Aggies, 109-62, and own a 14-11 advantage since A&M joined the SEC. The home team has dominated the series over the last 14 seasons as Arkansas is 11-1 versus the Aggies at home and Texas A&M is 8-3 versus the Razorbacks in College Station.
The full 2026-27 SEC schedule will be unveiled at a later date.
