Home games with Tennessee and Texas highlight Diamond Hogs’ 56-game slate

FAYETTEVILLE – 56 regular-season contests, including 10 conference series and road trips to Globe Life Field and Dickey-Stephens Park, are lined up for three-time SEC Coach of the Year Dave Van Horn and the Razorbacks in 2025.

Arkansas is scheduled to face 11 teams that advanced to the 2024 NCAA Tournament and three, including defending national champion Tennessee and national runner-up Texas A&M, that participated in last year’s College World Series.

The Hogs finished the 2024 campaign with a 44-16 overall record, including a 20-10 mark in conference play, clinching their fifth 20-win SEC season in school history and securing their fifth SEC Western Division title in the last six seasons. Arkansas, the winningest program in the nation since the start of the 2017 campaign with 333 total victories, is one of only two schools in the country, along with Southern Miss, to win 40-plus games in each of the last seven full seasons.

Arkansas begins its 2025 season inside the friendly confines of Baum-Walker Stadium, hosting Washington State (Feb. 14-17) for a four-game set with Opening Day falling on Valentine’s Day. The Razorbacks own a 7-3 all-time series record against the Cougars, as the two teams will clash for the first time since meeting in the 2010 NCAA Fayetteville Regional.

Following their season-opening weekend at home, the Hogs embark on their fourth trip in five seasons to Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, to participate in the College Baseball Series benefiting Shriners Children’s (Feb. 21-23). Arkansas goes up against Kansas State, TCU and Michigan during the tournament at the home of the Texas Rangers.

After the trip to Globe Life Field, the Razorbacks return to Baum-Walker Stadium for a 10-game homestand. Arkansas kicks off its longest homestand of the season with a midweek matchup against Grambling (Feb. 25) before playing host to Charlotte (Feb. 28-March 2), ULM (March 4-5), Portland (March 7-9) and in-state opponent UCA (March 11).

The non-conference portion of the Hogs’ schedule also includes midweek home contests against Oral Roberts (March 18-19), Missouri State (March 25), Arkansas State (April 8), UAPB (April 15) and Little Rock (April 22-23). Arkansas hits the road for a midweek matchup against UAPB (April 1) at Dickey-Stephens Park, home of the Seattle Mariners’ Double-A affiliate Arkansas Travelers, in North Little Rock, Ark., and later against Missouri State (April 29) in Springfield, Mo.

Arkansas’ SEC schedule features a loaded home slate with series against South Carolina (March 21-23), Missouri (April 4-6), Texas A&M (April 17-19), Texas (May 2-4) and Tennessee (May 15-17). The Hogs go on the road in conference play to face Ole Miss (March 14-16), Vanderbilt (March 28-30), Georgia (April 11-13), Florida (April 25-27) and LSU (May 9-11).

The SEC Tournament (May 20-25), meanwhile, returns to Hoover Metropolitan Stadium in Hoover, Ala., for the 27th season in a row and 29th time in history. The SEC led all conferences with a record 11 programs in the 2024 NCAA Tournament, including four teams – Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee and Texas A&M – in the College World Series.

All games are subject to change for television, including the move of some conference series to begin on Thursdays.
