FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas has reached an agreement to host Portland State in its 2019 football opener.
Arkansas will host the Vikings on Aug. 31, 2019, in either Fayetteville or Little Rock according to terms of the contract, which was obtained through an open records request by the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. The financial terms of the contract were redacted. The game will be worked by an SEC officiating crew.
The Razorbacks are still working to secure an opponent for their 2018 season opener, an unexpected hole in the schedule that occurred when Michigan pulled out of a two-year contract in July that would have pitted the Razorbacks and Wolverines in season-opening games in 2018 and 2019.
