Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville and War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock. Arkansas play as a member of the Western Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). They are led by fourth-year head coach Bret Bielema.

Schedule

Arkansas announced its 2016 football schedule on October 29, 2015. The 2016 schedule consists of 7 home games, 4 away games, and 1 neutral site game in the regular season. The Razorbacks will host SEC foes Alabama, Florida, LSU, and Ole Miss, and will travel to Auburn, Mississippi State, and Missouri. Arkansas played against Texas A&M for the eighth year in a row in Arlington, Texas.[1]

The Razorbacks will travel to Fort Worth, Texas to compete against TCU for the first time since 1991, which was the year before the Razorbacks left the Southwest Conference for the SEC.
