Razorback fans have known the who and where, but on Tuesday they learned the when as Arkansas basketball released its SEC schedule for the 2024-25 season.
The 18-game league slate will be the first under the direction of Hall of Fame head coach John Calipari, who begins his tenure in Fayetteville after 15 seasons at Kentucky.
Midweek designations, tipoff times and television information will be released at a later date.
After the league opener at Tennessee, Arkansas will alternate between two home games, followed by two road games for the next 16 games until playing a single home game versus Mississippi State for the SEC finale on Mar. 8. The schedule includes a “bye” with no midweek game the last week of January.
The Razorbacks’ SEC home opener will be a midweek game versus Ole Miss (Jan. 7 or 8) followed by a home game with Florida on Saturday (Jan. 11). Other SEC home games include Georgia (Jan. 21/22), Oklahoma (Jan. 25), Alabama (Feb. 8), LSU (Feb. 11/2), Missouri (Feb. 22) and Texas (Feb. 25/26).
Razorback road games include at LSU (Jan. 14/15), at Missouri (Jan. 18), at Kentucky (Feb. 1), at Texas (Feb. 4/5), at Texas A&M (Feb. 15), at Auburn (Feb. 18/19), at South Carolina (Mar. 1) and at Vanderbilt (Mar. 4/5).
