Kickoff times, TV networks for first three games set

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Now we know what time Arkansas will start the early football games year and it’s probably shouldn’t be that surprising that the opener against Western Carolina in the War Memorial Stadium relic will be 3 p.m. on Sept. 2 and will only be available via online streaming.

The Razorbacks will play their first of six home games inside Razorback Stadium against Kent State at 3 p.m., Sept. 9, on the SEC Network. It’ll be the first meeting between the Hogs and the Flashes. Wrapping up their two-game homestand, the Hogs host BYU at 6:30 p.m., Sept. 16, on ESPN2. The Cougars will be making their first trip to Fayetteville.

The Hogs are also set to play home games against Mississippi State (Oct. 21), Auburn (Nov. 11), Florida International (Nov. 18) and  Missouri in the season finale at 3 p.m. Friday, Nov. 24, on CBS. Arkansas’ road schedule features LSU (Sept. 23), the Southwest Classic against Texas A&M held in AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas (Sept. 30) and games at Ole Miss (Oct. 7), Alabama (Oct. 14) and Florida (Nov. 4).
