FAYETTEVILLE — Two more kickoff times for Arkansas football games in 2021 were announced Thursday.

The Razorbacks, entering their second season under coach Sam Pittman, are scheduled to play Rice at 1 p.m. on Sept. 4 and Georgia Southern at 3 p.m. on Sept. 18. Both games will be played in Fayetteville.

The Georgia Southern game will be shown on SEC Network, and the Rice game will air via an Internet stream on ESPN+ and SEC Network+.

The SEC is in its first season of an agreement that allows ESPN+ to stream one home nonconference football game per year for each SEC program. In 2021, the ESPN+ stream can also be accessed through SEC Network+, similar to Arkansas’ baseball games that are not televised by a network.

A subscription will be required to watch the Arkansas-Rice game, either to ESPN+ or to a TV provider that includes ESPN programming. The game can be accessed via the ESPN app or WatchESPN.com.

ESPN previously announced the Razorbacks’ home game against Texas on Sept. 11 will begin at 6 p.m. CBS announced a 2:30 p.m. start time for Arkansas’ Nov. 26 game against Missouri.
