Arkansas now knows exactly when it will head to Auburn in Week 10.
The Razorbacks and Tigers are set for a November 7 kickoff at 11:45 a.m. CST in Auburn, with the game airing on SEC Network. It will be the 36th all-time meeting between the programs, and Auburn holds the edge in the series, 21-13-1.
This matchup has been hard to separate in recent years. Arkansas and Auburn have split the last five meetings, and neither team has managed back-to-back wins in the series since Auburn rattled off six straight from 2016 through 2021. Last season in Fayetteville, Auburn took control by forcing three turnovers from the Arkansas offense on the way to a 33-24 victory.
Arkansas enters the stretch sitting at 3-4 overall and 1-3 in SEC play after seven weeks. The Razorbacks’ wins have come against North Alabama, Tulsa and Vanderbilt. Auburn is 4-3 and 2-3 in conference play, with victories over Baylor, Southern Mississippi, Vanderbilt and Georgia.
Before that trip to Auburn, Arkansas has a major test this weekend. The Razorbacks host No.
23 Missouri in the Battle Line Rivalry on Saturday in Fayetteville at 6:45 p.m. CDT on SEC Network.
Arkansas has not beaten Missouri since 2021.
Auburn will come into the Arkansas game after a trip to Oxford, Miss., for a meeting with Ole Miss.
The schedule keeps tightening for the Razorbacks after that. Arkansas hosts South Carolina in Week 11 on November 14 in Razorback Stadium, marking the first meeting between the teams since 2022.
In that game, Arkansas beat South Carolina 44-30 in Fayetteville. The Razorbacks lead the all-time series 14-10 in 24 meetings.
Week 12 sends Arkansas back to Austin for the second straight year to face No. 1 Texas on November 21.
The Razorbacks are trying to stop a two-game slide against the Longhorns, who lead the all-time series 58-23. Last season, Texas rolled past Arkansas 52-37 in Austin.
The regular season ends with the Battle for the Golden Boot, as LSU and new head coach Lane Kiffin come to Fayetteville on November 27. Arkansas has lost four in a row in the series, and LSU edged the Hogs 23-22 in last year’s matchup.

Arkansas Is Suddenly In Position For A Massive Calipari Recruiting Win
A big recruiting battle is coming down to the wire for a prospect who could change the shape of a class. Demarcus Henry, a five-star guard in the 2027 cycle, has trimmed his list to Arkansas, Louisville, North Carolina and Kentucky, and he is expected to make his decision later this week. For the Razorbacks, just being in this final group says plenty about the programs current pull under John Calipari, especially with heavyweights from the ACC and SEC still in the mix.
The late stages of a chase like this usually come down to fit, trust and which staff makes the clearest long-term case. Arkansas has plenty to sell as it tries to land one of the top names in the class, but Henrys choice remains unsettled for now, with several bluebloods still waiting alongside the Razorbacks. However this one ends, the decision will reverberate well beyond a single commitment and could become one of the bigger recruiting swings of the cycle. [Read more 🡒]
Arkansas Is Chasing A Recruiting Opening Rivals May Regret
Arkansas has been working the recruiting trail with a real sense of urgency, and the official-visit calendar has made that clear. The Razorbacks have hosted a steady stream of prospects while continuing to pursue players already committed elsewhere, including recruits tied to Baylor, Maryland and UTSA, as coaching changes around the country have created openings that did not exist a few weeks ago.
For Arkansas, the appeal is obvious: when other programs change direction, the Hogs get a chance to stay in the conversation longer than they otherwise might. Several of the prospects on the board have already made multiple visits or kept close contact with the staff, which is exactly the sort of groundwork that can pay off if any of those commitments start to wobble. Nothing is settled yet, but Arkansas has put itself in position to benefit if the dominoes begin to fall. [Read more 🡒]
Arkansas Faces A Bigger Run Defense Test Against Missouri
Missouris backfield is becoming a storyline again just in time for Arkansas to prepare for one of its toughest defensive chores of the season. Ahmad Hardy is returning to practice this week after recovering from a gunshot wound suffered in May, according to Tigers coach Eli Drinkwitz, and while his availability for the game against Arkansas is still up in the air, the Razorbacks know they have to account for him in the buildup.
Ryan Silverfield has already pointed to Missouris rushing attack and the way the Tigers structure their offense as a major challenge for Arkansas. Even if Hardys status remains unresolved for now, the Razorbacks are dealing with a matchup that demands attention at the line of scrimmage and leaves little room for mistakes against a ground game that has given opponents plenty to think about.
