With the college baseball season winding down, in a matter of weeks, Arkansas football will take the field for its first game against Alabama A&M. In late May, the starting times for the Razorbacks' first three games were announced, and today, a fourth game time was revealed, as well as the windows for every other game of the 2025-26 season.

Arkansas football season game time windows

The Hogs will first play Alabama A&M on August 30 at 3:15 PM. Arkansas will then travel to Little Rock to play Arkansas St. on September 6 at 4:00 PM for the first time in history at War Memorial Stadium. Then, the Razorbacks will head east to take on Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels on September 13 at 6:00 or 6:64 PM, depending on what station broadcasts the game.

However, the fourth start time to be released on Arkansas' schedule is the September 27 matchup versus College Football Playoff team Notre Dame. When the Fighting Irish come to Fayetteville, the contest will be the first of three marquee games shown on ABC, starting at 11:00 AM.

The remaining eight games now have windows for when those games will start. Four categories indicate when the games will start: Early (11:00 AM to Noon), Afternoon (2:30-3:00), Night (5:00-7:00), and Flex, which encompasses both the Afternoon and Night time slots (2:30-7:00).

Next season, Arkansas will have the Early games, including the Hogs' game against Notre Dame, against LSU and Auburn. Other than Alabama A&M and Arkansas St., only Mississippi State will assuredly play in the Afternoon time slot. Ole Miss and Missouri are the only two teams guaranteed to play at night. Memphis is still to be announced, but the rest of the schedule—Tennessee, Texas A&M, and Texas—are Flexes and will either begin in the afternoon or at night.
