The SEC football opponents have been unveiled for the Arkansas Razorbacks in the 2025 season, according to a release by the league on Wednesday.
All 16 SEC schools will play the same opponents in 2025 they are scheduled to play in 2024, with home and away games flipping. In 2025, Arkansas will host Auburn, Mississippi State, Missouri and Texas A&M while traveling to LSU, Ole Miss, Tennessee and Texas.
The Razorbacks will host Texas A&M in Fayetteville for the first time since 2013, the Aggies’ second season in the SEC. Arkansas will also make a pair of road trips that the Hogs have not made in recent history with a game at Tennessee (first since 2015) and a return to former Southwest Conference rival Texas (first since 2008).
In addition to hosting four SEC games, Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium will host a pair of non-conference games, including a marquee matchup against Notre Dame on Sept. 27. The Razorbacks and Fighting Irish will meet for the first time on the gridiron in the first game of a home-and-home series.
The two teams were scheduled to play the first game of the series at Notre Dame in 2020 before the covid-19 pandemic altered schedules nationwide. The Hogs are slated to make the return trip to South Bend, Ind., in 2028.
The season opener vs. Missouri State is set for August 30 prior to the first-ever meeting with Arkansas State at War Memorial Stadium on Sept. 7 in Little Rock. Arkansas travels to Memphis on Sept. 20 to take on the Tigers in just the sixth meeting all-time between the two schools.
The Hogs and Memphis have not met since 1998, when Houston Nutt’s first Arkansas team beat the Tigers 23-9 in Memphis.
