Arkansas gymnastics fans can now lock in their seats for the 2027 season, with season ticket renewals open and theme nights unveiled for a home slate that stretches from January into April.
Current season ticket holders can renew through Friday, Nov. 6, while new general admission season tickets are available for $55. The Razorbacks are set to host five meets at Bud Walton Arena in 2027, with six different teams coming to Fayetteville and four of those opponents coming from the SEC.
The home schedule opens Jan. 8 with a tri-meet against SEMO and West Virginia at 6:45 p.m. That night will also serve as Razorback Heroes & Kids Night Out.
A week later, on Jan. 15, Arkansas will welcome Florida for its home SEC opener and Student Appreciation Night, timed with students returning from winter break.
The Razorbacks will host Alabama on Jan. 29 for Compete for a Cause Night, giving gymnasts and fans a chance to support causes that matter to them. Missouri comes to Bud Walton Arena on Feb. 9 for Gymback Rewind, a night that will honor Arkansas gymnastics alumni as part of the program’s 25th season celebration.
Arkansas closes its regular-season home schedule on March 5 against LSU, with that meet labeled Senior Night and Pack the Palace. Then comes the biggest stage yet: the NCAA Fayetteville Regional, scheduled for April 1-4 at Bud Walton Arena.
The 2027 campaign will be the third full year for the Gymbacks in Bud Walton Arena, where Arkansas has built a strong home atmosphere. Last season, the Razorbacks drew 38,263 fans across five meets, averaging 7,653 per meet, both top 10 marks nationally.

Arkansas Fans Can't Ignore Where The NIL Race Is Headed
College athletics has moved well past the old recruiting arms race, and the money now flowing through Name, Image and Likeness has made that impossible to ignore. Texas Tech has become one of the clearest examples in football, with Cody Campbell, a Red Raider alum and oil entrepreneur, pouring significant funding into the program and helping push the 2026 roster budget into the $33 million to $36.3 million range.
Arkansas fans have their own benchmark to watch, too, thanks to John Tysons heavy investment in the Razorbacks basketball operation. The Tyson Foods chairman has already committed millions to support John Caliparis contract and NIL agreements, a reminder that the biggest programs are no longer just competing on the floor or field but in the size and seriousness of the backing behind them.

Arkansas Gets One More Reason To Circle Tennessee This Week
Tennessees trip to Fayetteville this week already had plenty of SEC weight to it, and now theres a little extra theater attached. The Volunteers will go with their classic all-white Stormtrooper look for the road game against Arkansas, a matchup set for the second Saturday of October and Tennessees first road conference game of the 2026 season.
For Arkansas, the uniform choice adds another detail to a game the Razorbacks badly need to treat like a turning point. Tennessee comes in ranked 15th with a 4-1 overall record and a 1-1 mark in SEC play, while Arkansas is 2-3 and still searching for its first conference win. In a month when every league game starts to matter a little more, the backdrop in Fayetteville is getting a bit sharper. [Read more 🡒]
Arkansas Faces A Defensive Concern Right Before Tennessee Arrives
Arkansas heads into Saturdays matchup with No. 15 Tennessee carrying some late defensive uncertainty, as Quincy Rhodes Jr. and Bradley Shaw are both uncertain to play because of injuries. The Razorbacks also have Steven Soles Jr. and Shelton Lewis listed as questionable, adding to the questions around a unit that will already be trying to slow a ranked opponent at Razorback Stadium.
The timing matters because Tennessee is dealing with its own quarterback situation, with backup George MacIntyre set to start and Faizon Brandon listed as questionable with a shoulder injury. For Arkansas, the challenge is simple enough to define and hard enough to solve: get healthy enough on defense to take advantage of a Vols offense that may be operating with a different look than expected. Coverage begins Saturday on SEC Network and the Razorback Sports Network. [Read more 🡒]
