Arkansas’ 2025 Schedule Revealed
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas now has its full 2025 schedule. The SEC slate was released on ESPN2 on Wednesday.
The 2025 schedule will feature the same conference slate as this season with the home and away opponents flipped. The Razorbacks schedule is highlighted by back-to-back road games against LSU and Texas in November.
Arkansas will open its season against Alabama A&M Saturday, Aug. 30 before heading to Little Rock to take on Arkansas State the following week.
The Razorbacks open SEC play against Ole Miss on the road in Oxford, Miss. in Week 3, Sept. 13. The Razorbacks will play back-to-back road games, taking on Memphis after facing Ole Miss.
Notre Dame will face the Hogs inside Razorback Stadium the following week as the marquee non-conference showdown. The Fighting Irish made the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff as the No. 7 seed.
As part of the SEC expanding to 16 teams, the teams will once again have two open dates, the first on Oct. 4. Coming out of the open week, the Hogs hit the road to take on Tennessee in what will be a revenge game for the playoff bound Volunteers.
The Hogs then gain the positive side of playing so many away games in 2024 by going five straight weeks before leaving Fayetteville again. Arkansas hosts Texas A&M, Auburn and Mississippi State.
Arkansas will get its second open week ahead back-to-back visits to Death Valley and Austin to take on LSU Nov. 15. and Texas Nov. 22, respectively.
The Hogs will once again conclude the season against Missouri in the Battle Line Rivalry in Fayetteville, Nov. 29.

Texas bee swarm hospitalizes 3; Arkansas doctors explain warning signs of severe reactions
LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — A bee swarm attack in Texas sent three people, including a firefighter, to the hospital this week, while Arkansas medical experts said most bee stings are not dangerous but can become life-threatening in certain cases.
Authorities in San Antonio said the three victims were hospitalized after being swarmed and stung by aggressive bees. Officials have not released details on what triggered the attack or the species involved.
Doctors in Arkansas said the biggest risk from a bee sting is not the sting itself, but a severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis.
“The concern when you have a bee sting is if you develop a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis,” said Dr. Garrett Lewis, chief medical officer at St. Vincent Infirmary.
Lewis said warning signs include throat swelling, difficulty breathing and feeling faint, which require immediate medical attention.
“If you’re experiencing any throat swelling or severe shortness of breath, you need to seek medical care immediately,” Lewis said.
He added that people who are stung multiple times may also be at risk even without a known allergy, because each sting introduces additional venom into the body.
In the event of a swarm, Lewis said the priority should be escaping the area as quickly as possible and removing any stingers once safe.
“Seek water, seek indoor,” Lewis said. “Once you’re away from the swarm, you want to make sure that you are removing any stingers that might still be in your skin.”
Lewis also said symptoms such as dizziness, nausea and widespread hives can indicate a serious reaction.
While the Texas incident resulted in hospitalizations, a recent swarm outside a Little Rock business ended without injuries after bees briefly gathered on a tree limb before being safely removed by a beekeeper.
Lewis said the best prevention is awareness of surroundings and understanding when medical care is needed after a sting.

CORNING, Ark. (KATV) — Regulatory Enforcement Agents with the Department of Finance and Administration, along with local police, seized a significant amount of illegal THC products from Pacific Green in Corning on Tuesday.
