BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — With the 2018 season set to begin this weekend for Razorback soccer, fans will have the opportunity to not only catch a great slate of matches at Razorback Field, but also on television and online via the Watch ESPN app.
Arkansas’ home matchups against Texas A&M (Sept. 20) and Missouri (Sept. 27) will both be broadcast on the SEC Network, as well as online via the Watch ESPN app. The Razorbacks also picked up a regional audience via Cox Sports for their match at McNeese State (Aug. 26).
With the two SEC Network pickups, the start time for both matches against the Aggies and Tigers will have new start times, both at 6 p.m.
Other home matches will be televised online only via SEC Network+ with the exception of the match against Nebraska-Omaha (Aug. 24).
Most, if not all, of the road conference slate will be on SEC Network+, the online-only arm of the SEC Network, which can be accessed via WatchESPN.com or the Watch ESPN app.
Those schedules will be released by each school as the season draws near.
