Razorbacks’ 2024 slate set

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Arkansas Razorbacks’ 2024 schedule is set as the Southeastern Conference begins a new era with 16 teams and no divisions starting next season.

The Razorbacks will play seven games inside the state’s borders beginning with the season-opener against UAPB at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock on August 31 before three of the Hogs’ next four games happen on the road with trips to Oklahoma State, Auburn and Arlington, Texas to take on Texas A&M. The schedule, however, closes with five of Arkansas’ final seven games inside Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium, including three in November.

The season opens in Little Rock for the second straight season and with the Hogs taking on the Golden Lions for just the second time in history after winning the first-ever game between the two schools 45-3 in 2021 inside War Memorial Stadium.

 

The 47th edition of the series with Oklahoma State is set for September 7 in Stillwater, Okla. The Razorbacks and Cowboys first played in 1912 but the two schools have not met on the gridiron since 1980 when Lou Holtz’s Hogs topped the Pokes 33-20 at War Memorial Stadium.

Arkansas will play inside Razorback Stadium for the first time in 2024 on September 14 against UAB. The Blazers and Razorbacks have met only once previously in 2014 when the Hogs rolled to a 45-17 homecoming victory.

Back-to-back weeks away from home begin with a trip to Auburn on September 21 followed by a trip to AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas for the final scheduled neutral site game against Texas A&M. Moving forward, the Razorbacks and Aggies will play games on each school’s campus.

October opens with a visit from Tennessee on October 5. The Volunteers make their second straight trip to Fayetteville after visiting in the teams’ previous game in 2020 when the Hogs rallied to win 24-13 in Head Coach Sam Pittman’s first season. The once annual opponents have met 19 times in history – playing every year between 1992-2002 – but just five times since 2002 with Arkansas winning four of the five matchups.

The first of two open dates arrives on October 12 with the second bye week of the season coming four weeks later on November 9.

The Battle of the Golden Boot returns to Fayetteville on October 19. After playing the Tigers in September last season – the first time the two schools had met outside of November since 1966 – Arkansas and LSU will meet in October for the first time since 1936. The Razorbacks and Tigers have never played in Arkansas outside of the month of November.

Consecutive games against the Mississippi schools start with a road game at Mississippi State on October 26. Arkansas then returns to start a stretch of three straight home games beginning with Ole Miss on November 9. The game against the Rebels is the last of the Hogs’ four opponents (Auburn, LSU, Mississippi State) the team has played every season since joining the SEC in 1992.

For the first time since 1991, Arkansas will face off against Texas as a conference opponent when the Longhorns make the trip to Razorback Stadium on November 16. The last time the Hogs and Horns met as conference foes in Fayetteville was 1989. The most recent version of the rivalry happened in 2021 when Arkansas beat Texas 40-21 in front of a sold-out crowd at Razorback Stadium. The Hogs have won five of the last seven meetings, including the 1991 matchup in Little Rock in the final meeting as Southwest Conference foes.

The Razorbacks’ final nonconference game of the season comes against Louisiana Tech on November 23. Arkansas is 4-0 all time against the Bulldogs, including a 21-20 victory in the 2016 season opener.

The Battle Line Rivalry shifts back to Missouri on November 30 as the two programs will square off in the regular season finale for the 11th straight season.
