The Razorback volleyball team will continue SEC play at home this week as the Hogs welcome the Georgia Bulldogs and South Carolina Gamecocks to town.

Arkansas takes on Georgia at 7 p.m. on Friday to kick off the weekend. As part of Student Athlete Mental Health Week and on World Mental Health Day, the Hogs are bringing awareness to the cause with green ribbons. Sunday’s 3 p.m. contest with South Carolina is also a special one: the team’s annual Pink Match observing Breast Cancer Awareness Month and honoring those affected by all cancers.

Georgia and Arkansas have matching conference records of 1-3, though the Bulldogs opened SEC competition with three ranked opponents in No. 22 Tennessee, No. 3 Kentucky and No. 2 Texas. Georgia is the second-best blocking team in the SEC with 3.04/set, with the effort led by Kendal Kemp, who is tallying 1.53/set, third in the SEC. Tori Harper also lands in the top five with 1.31 blocks/set. Overall, the Bulldogs are 9-5.

South Carolina has one ranked win this season, over No. 25 North Carolina on Sept. 12. The Gamecocks are 0-4 in conference play, but three have been to ranked teams: No. 3 Kentucky, No. 22 Tennessee and No. 9 Texas A&M. South Carolina falls into the SEC top 10 in three categories: assists/set (12.09), aces/set (1.43), and digs/set (13.36). The Gamecocks hold a 6-8 record overall on the season.

After opening conference play with a five-set win over Ole Miss, Arkansas has dropped three in a row to LSU, Mizzou, and Vanderbilt. They will look to bounce back at home, and both matches will be streamed on SEC Network+. Single match tickets are available online, in person or by phone through the Razorback Ticket Center.

The SEC has announced the future Georgia football conference opponents for the 2026 through 2029 seasons.

Georgia will face Florida, South Carolina and Auburn every season. The SEC announced on Friday that the annual opponents will be revisited every four seasons.

“it’s hard. I mean, it’s brutal. And everybody’s the same,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said on Tuesday night. “I mean, we all gotta play each other. It’s really tough, highly ranked teams, physical teams. It’s just going to continue to be a grind. I mean, looking forward with the nines coming, it’s going to be scary because you just don’t have enough. Nobody has enough depth.”

Dates for the 2026 schedule will be announced in December, according to the conference. The schedules will be flipped in 2028 and 2029 from the home-road splits in 2026 and 2027.

In its scheduling outline, the SEC made it clear it wants competitively balanced schedules, which will be determined using the entire schedule and not just the annual opponents. Tennessee reportedly will face Alabama, Vanderbilt and Kentucky in each of the next four years. The latter two are not exactly football powerhouses.

According to the SEC, the highest opponent average winning percentage for any school in the 2026-29 schedules is 55.67% while the lowest is 46.65%, a difference of only 9.02%. From 2020 through 2023 — when the league still used the divisional format — the highest winning percentage was 61.32% and the lowest was 39.76%.

In addition to nine conference games, the SEC stipulates that schools face one Power Four in its nonconference scheduling.

Georgia’s game against Georgia Tech satisfies that requirement. Georgia has future nonconference games against Louisville, Florida State, Clemson and Ohio State on its schedule for the time being.

As it stands, Georgia has 13 games scheduled for the 2025 season. The Bulldogs have nonconfernce games against Tennessee State, Western Kentucky, Louisville and Georgia Tech.

“We’re working through that right now, and a lot of that’s going to be determined as we learn when and where our schedule is going to be in the next few weeks,” Georgia athletic director Josh Brooks said. “But that’s something we’re attacking right now to see what our options are going to be in 2026. So we’re going to take it one year at a time right now. The first focus is going to be on 2026 and then 2027 and moving on. So still a lot of work to be done, and I work closely with Coach Smart and Mark Robinson and the league to kind of figure out what is that going to mean for our schedule moving forward.”

Georgia takes on Alabama this week, with the game scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
