Arkansas basketball SEC schedule brings home opener and road trips

Arkansas will kick off SEC play at home again this year and finish the regular season at home too.

The SEC laid out the full 2026-27 conference basketball schedule on Monday and Arkansas will host Missouri on Jan. 2 to start the run.

It’s the second straight season the Razorbacks get to open league play in Bud Walton Arena.

After that opener the Hogs hit the road for a quick midweek trip to South Carolina before coming home to face Alabama on Jan. 9.

Midweek games will land on either a Tuesday or a Wednesday but exact days haven’t been set yet.

From there Arkansas heads out for back-to-back road games at Texas A&M and at Tennessee. That two-game away stretch wraps up a busy middle chunk of January for the Razorbacks.

Three of the final four January games come back home though.

Georgia visits Bud Walton Arena on Jan. 19 or 20 and then Arkansas makes its only road trip in that stretch to Texas on Jan. 23. LSU and Mississippi State follow with back-to-back home dates to close out the month.

The Hogs get a midweek bye to open February before traveling to Nashville to play Vanderbilt.

Ole Miss comes to Fayetteville right after that and then it’s a return trip to Tuscaloosa for a rematch with Alabama on Feb. 13.

A midweek home game against Auburn lands on Feb. 16 or 17 and then Arkansas closes the month with back-to-back road tests at Kentucky and Missouri.

March brings home finale before SEC tournament

Arkansas wraps its home slate by hosting Florida on Feb. 27 before heading to Baton Rouge for a rematch with LSU on March 2 or 3.

The regular season then closes with Oklahoma coming to Bud Walton Arena on March 6.

Once the regular season ends the Razorbacks turn their attention to defending their title at the SEC Tournament, which returns to Bridgestone Arena in Nashville from March 10-14.

Before any of that conference action tips off though the Hogs have summer business to handle.

Arkansas is set to play four exhibition games as part of the Baha Mar Hoops Summer League in the Bahamas this week and those games will stream on FloSports.

Non-conference slate rounds out schedule

Arkansas also has several non-league dates locked in for the fall.

The Razorbacks play an exhibition against Gonzaga before the regular season begins and then face Indiana at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 17.

A Thanksgiving Day matchup with Michigan State is set for Detroit on Nov. 26 and Arkansas travels to face North Carolina on Dec. 1 as part of the SEC-ACC Challenge.

The non-conference slate also includes trips and home dates against Arizona and Central Michigan before conference play begins in January.

Tipoff times and television designations for the SEC slate haven’t been released yet and will come at a later date.

For now Razorback fans know exactly when and where every conference game will be played heading into the 2026-27 season.
