The Southeastern Conference released the remaining kickoff time windows for Arkansas football's 2024 schedule Tuesday, and the Hogs have just one Night window conference game on the slate.
Arkansas already had game times and TV network designations set for games against UAPB (Aug. 29 at 6:30 p.m. on ESPNU), at Oklahoma State (Sept. 7 at 11 a.m. on ABC) and UAB (Sept. 14 at 3:15 p.m. on SEC Network)
The Razorbacks do have a fourth set game time, as the contest against rival Texas in Fayetteville on Nov. 16 will kick off at 11 a.m. on either ABC or ESPN.
As part of the SEC's new TV rights deal with ESPN, the league has established kickoff time windows to allow teams and fans to know approximate start times for the entire season, per a press release. Games will kick off within one of four windows known as Early, Afternoon, Night or Flex.
Kickoff Windows
| Window | Potential Times |
|---|---|
| Early | 11 a.m.-Noon CT |
| Afternoon | 2:30-3:30 p.m. CT |
| Night | 5-7 p.m. CT |
| Flex | 2:30-7 p.m. CT |
Game time windows will be converted to kickoff times six days prior to the game. Flex games will encompass the Afternoon and Night windows before being assigned a window 12 days prior to the game, according to the SEC.
Arkansas has two Flex games in 2024 — vs. Auburn on Sept. 21 (2:30-7 p.m.) and against Tennessee on Oct. 5 (2:30-7 p.m.).
The Southwest Classic matchup with Texas A&M on Sept. 28 is set for an Afternoon window (2:30-3:30 p.m.) kick inside AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Arkansas' only Night window (5-7 p.m.) game will be a home game against LSU on Oct. 19. The Hogs will have back-to-back Early window (11 a.m.-Noon) games at Mississippi State on Oct. 26 and vs. Ole Miss on Nov. 2.
The Razorbacks' final home game of the season vs. Louisiana Tech will stream on SECN+ and ESPN+ with a kickoff time yet to be released. The Battle Line Rivalry game against Missouri will kick off in the Afternoon window (2:30-3:30 p.m.) on Nov. 30 to end the regular season.
