How to watch Alabama baseball vs. Arkansas: Start times, TV channel for series
Alabama baseball hosts the top-ranked team in the country this weekend.

Alabama has struggled in conference play lately, getting swept by Kentucky in its last SEC series, but has fared much better at home.

Arkansas, the unanimous No. 1 team in the country, has been a juggernaut this season. The SEC Coaches preseason poll had the Razorbacks winning the conference in 2024, and they look more than good enough to do so. Arkansas' team ERA of 2.56 is the best mark in the country, and ace Hagen Smith looks like the best pitcher in college baseball.
Alabama just suffered a home upset to South Alabama, falling 5-4 on Tuesday in its midweek game. The Tide is looking to bounce back strong by stealing a series against the best team in the country, but coach Rob Vaughn and his players will certainly have their work cut out for them.
