Season Highlights & Storylines
Historic matchups: This season features two first-ever meetings in school history: against Arkansas State in Little Rock and NotreโฏDame at home .
Four stadiums in four weeks: Between August 30 and September 20, Arkansas will play in Fayetteville, Little Rock, Oxford, and Memphis โ a rare logistical and physical challenge .
High-profile SEC battles:
A road trip to Tennessee on Oct 11 continues an intense rivalryโArkansas has won four straight in Knoxville dating back to 2011 .
The Southwest Classic vs. TexasโฏA&M returns to Fayetteville on Oct 18โArkansas leads the series, though A&M currently has a winning streak .
The Battle for the Golden Boot at LSU on Nov 15, and then a crucial Big 12-SEC showdown at new conference foe Texas on Nov 22 .
Season finale bumps against Missouri in Fayetteville.
Two open weeks: Strategic pauses on Oct 4 and Nov 8 allow for rest, recovery, and matchup planning.

Why This Season Stands Out
Historic duels: The first-ever clashes with Arkansas State and NotreโฏDame add fresh excitement and fan interest.
Travel-heavy start: Playing in four different stadiums within three weeks is a true test of depth, organization, and stamina.
Rivalry-rich SEC slate: Games against Tennessee, Texas A&M, LSU, Texas, and Missouri highlight a brutal December push and potential bowl implications.
Optional defeats or spoil-opportunities: The open weeks can serve as momentum resets or final tune-ups before critical late-season showdowns.

Looking Ahead
After Nov 29, the Razorbacks may qualify for post-season play depending on their record, SEC standings, and strength of resume.
The record in early marquee matchups (NotreโฏDame, OleโฏMiss, Tennessee) could determine bowl placements and national perception.
—
In summary, the 2025 schedule blends historical novelty with old-school rivalries and high-stakes stretch games. A quick-moving start into mid-September, followed by open weeks and intense SEC competition, makes this one of Arkansas’ most compelling slates in recent years. If the Hogs can handle the early road games and capitalize at home, fans will be eagerly cheering throughout November and beyond.
