FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas is starting to add key dates for fans for football season set for this year.
Homecoming is set for Oct. 21 when the Razorbacks host Mississippi State and Family Weekend set for Sept. 9 when the Hogs play Kent State.
Arkansas’ homecoming matchup with the Bulldogs will come after the Razorbacks have played four consecutive road games.
The Hogs’ first-ever matchup with Kent State will be the team’s second game of the season but the first in Fayetteville after opening the season against Western Carolina at War Memorial Stadium.
The wackiness in that scheduling will see a delayed start for football in the home stadium and going for a month in the middle of the schedule without a home game. That’s thanks to the SEC schedule-makers.
The U of A Sports Hall of Honor will also take place that weekend to celebrate the careers of the 2023 inductees.
The Razorbacks begin spring practice under fourth-year coach Sam Pittman on March 9.
Arkansas will work through 15 practices, including the team’s spring game on Saturday, April 15 as part of Wooo Pig Weekend.
The Hogs will kick off the busy Saturday at noon with No. 4 softball meeting UAB at Bogle Park at 3 p.m. and the No. 7 baseball team squaring off against Tennessee at 6 p.m. at Baum-Walker Stadium.
