The Hogs are adding some fresh faces to their home schedule this season.
According to a report from Matt Jones of WholeHogSports, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, Arkansas basketball has locked in two more nonconference opponents for the 2026-27 season.
Robert Morris will head to Bud Walton Arena on Nov. 10. Oral Roberts will follow about a month later on Dec. 5.
Both games will be played in Fayetteville. Tipoff times and TV details haven’t been announced yet.
Right now the Razorbacks are busy in another part of the world.
The team is in the Bahamas getting ready for a four-game exhibition tour as part of the Baha Mar Hoops Summer League.
That trip is helping the coaching staff evaluate the roster before the real season begins.
Arkansas schedule keeps filling out
These two additions aren’t the only new games popping up on the calendar. Arkansas will also host Central Michigan on Dec. 22 and Texas-Rio Grande Valley on Dec. 29.
That gives the Razorbacks four fresh nonconference home dates in a span of about seven weeks.
The Hogs already had a loaded nonconference slate before these additions.
Arkansas has a preseason exhibition set against Gonzaga with no date locked in yet and another against Memphis on Oct. 29.
The Razorbacks will also face Virginia at a neutral site in Washington D.C. sometime in November though a specific date hasn’t been set.
Arkansas has some marquee neutral-site matchups too. The Hogs will play Indiana at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 17.
Six days later on Thanksgiving Day Arkansas takes on Michigan State in Detroit. The Razorbacks then travel to face North Carolina on Dec. 1 as part of the SEC and ACC Challenge.
Arkansas rounds out its marquee nonconference dates with a matchup against Arizona in Phoenix on Dec. 19.
SEC slate for Razorbacks basketball
Once conference play begins the Hogs will have a full grind ahead.
Arkansas opens SEC play against Missouri on Jan. 2 and then travels to South Carolina the following weekend.
The Razorbacks host Alabama on Jan. 9 before hitting the road again against Texas A&M and Tennessee.
Arkansas will play Ole Miss Mississippi State LSU and Georgia at home this season while also traveling to face Vanderbilt Kentucky Auburn and Texas on the road.
The Razorbacks close the regular season with a home game against Oklahoma on March 6 before heading to Nashville for the SEC Tournament which runs from March 10-14.
Arkansas fans now have a much clearer picture of what the winter will look like.
Between the neutral-site showcases the new home additions and a demanding SEC schedule the Razorbacks have built one of their busiest schedules in years.
