What channel is Arkansas football vs UAPB on today? Time, TV schedule for Week 1 game

The Arkansas football season will kick off in Little Rock for a second straight year, with the Razorbacks traveling to the state capital for an in-state rivalry against Arkansas Pine Bluff on Thursday.

The Hogs are set to embark on a critical fall for head coach Sam Pittman, who enters his fifth season at Arkansas firmly on the hot seat. The Razorbacks failed to live up to expectations in 2023, stumbling to a 4-8 record and a midseason firing of offensive coordinator Dan Enos.

His replacement, Bobby Petrino, will make his second debut with Arkansas on Thursday. Petrino is tasked with reviving the Arkansas offense, and his hand-picked quarterback for the upcoming season is Boise State transfer Taylen Green. Fans will get their first chance to see that duo in action down in Little Rock.
