FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas has added two dates to its 2025-26 men’s basketball schedule.
The Razorbacks will play at Michigan State on Nov. 8 and will host James Madison on Dec. 29 at Bud Walton Arena. The Michigan State date was announced by both programs Wednesday and the contract for the James Madison game was discovered through a Freedom of Information Act request.
The Michigan State game is part of a home-and-home agreement that is expected to bring the Spartans to Fayetteville during the 2026-27 season.
Arkansas and Michigan State are led by Naismith Hall of Fame inductees, John Calipari and Tom Izzo, whose teams have met 5 times before with Calipari’s teams holding a 3-2 edge.
