FAYETTEVILLE — The Arkansas men’s basketball team learned its SEC schedule Wednesday, with the Razorbacks hosting Tennessee on Jan. 3, 2026, in their conference opener at Bud Walton Arena.
It is a reverse fixture from last season’s opener, in which Arkansas traveled to face the Volunteers.
Coach John Calipari’s highly anticipated first home game against Kentucky, where he coached from 2009-24, is scheduled for Jan. 31 at Bud Walton Arena. It is fifth consecutive game in the Arkansas-Kentucky series to be scheduled for a Saturday.
The Razorbacks face former point guard Boogie Fland and defending national champion Florida on Feb.
