After seven straight games to begin the season, Arkansas football is in the midst of its one-and-only open week during the 2026 campaign.

The Razorbacks (3-4, 1-3 SEC) head into the second half of their schedule with some momentum after beating Vanderbilt and clinching its first SEC victory in two years. Cam Settles scored a pair of touchdowns, wide receiver Antonio Jordan had a coming-out party and the Hogs' defense forced two turnovers to go on the road and knock off the Commodores.

It was a much-needed result for Ryan Silverfield. Arkansas had lost all four of its games against Power 4 opponents with three blowout defeats. However, the Razorbacks made strides in a tight loss to Tennessee and carried that improvement over into their skid-busting win.

Does Arkansas play this week?

No, Arkansas will not play on Saturday, Oct. 24. The Hogs are idle in Week 8.

When is Arkansas' next game?

The Razorbacks' next game is on Saturday, Oct. 31 at home against Missouri. The kickoff time will be announced later today.
