The Arkansas Razorbacks’ football season opener for 2024 has been pushed up two days to Thursday night, the school said.
The initial plan was for Arkansas to play the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, Arkansas on Saturday, August 31, in the opening game of the 2024 season. Now, on Thursday, August 29, the Razorbacks will play the Golden Lions two days early. ESPNU will broadcast the game live, starting at 7:30 p.m. ET/ 6:30 p.m. CT.
