FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas' baseball fans wanting to see them face Tennessee gets their wish with the new SEC schedule released today.
A schedule was released recently that had errors in it including not having the Hogs face the Vols again after the two didn't play last season. The schedule released earlier had two games that were included, but not scheduled to take place until 2024. But that was corrected with Tennessee coming to Fayetteville April 14-16.
Arkansas’ updated SEC slate now features home series against Auburn, Alabama, Texas A&M and South Carolina in addition to Tennessee. The Razorbacks’ SEC road series include trips to LSU, Ole Miss, Georgia, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt.
The Hogs now open league play at home against Auburn (March 17-19) before traveling to Baton Rouge, La., to face LSU (March 24-26). Arkansas returns to Baum-Walker Stadium the following weekend to host Alabama (March 31-April 2).
Arkansas then hits the road to take on defending national champion Ole Miss (April 6-8) in Oxford, Miss. The Hogs head to Georgia (April 21-23) in Athens, Ga., prior to closing out April at home against Texas A&M (April 28-30).
The Razorbacks begin the final month of the regular season against Mississippi State (May 5-7) in Starkville, Miss., before hosting South Carolina (May 12-14) in the final home series of the year. Arkansas concludes the regular season in Nashville, Tenn., traveling to Vanderbilt (May 18-20) before heading to the SEC Tournament (May 23-28) in Hoover, Ala.
