What channel is WCU vs. Arkansas on today? Time, TV schedule for Razorbacks opener

The Arkansas football season will kickoff in Little Rock, with the Razorbacks traveling to the state capitol for a game for the first time since 2021.

Head coach Sam Pittman will look to pick up a victory against FCS competition in Week 1. The game's start time was moved on Monday due to forecasted heat conditions in the Little Rock area.

Arkansas brings back one of the most talented backfields in the country with senior quarterback KJ Jefferson and junior running back Raheim Sanders highlighting what could be an explosive offense. On defense, the Razorbacks hope to be much-improved after dipping into the transfer portal to rebuild their defensive lines and secondaries. Saturday will be the first chance for fans to see if the newcomers can make a substantial difference.
