The Southeastern Conference released the remaining kickoff time windows for Arkansas football's 2024 schedule Tuesday, and the Razorbacks have just one Night window conference game on the slate, plus two Flex games that could end up with evening kickoffs.

Arkansas already had game times and TV network designations set for games against UAPB (Aug. 29 at 6:30 p.m. on ESPNU), at Oklahoma State (Sept. 7 at 11 a.m. on ABC) and UAB (Sept. 14 at 3:15 p.m. on SEC Network).

The Razorbacks do have a fourth set game time, as the contest against rival Texas in Fayetteville on Nov. 16 will kick off at 11 a.m. on either ABC or ESPN.

As part of the SEC's new TV rights deal with ESPN, the league has established kickoff time windows to allow teams and fans to know approximate start times for the entire season, per a press release. Games will kick off within one of four windows known as Early, Afternoon, Night or Flex.
