FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas will host CBS for an on-campus football game next Saturday for the first time in four years.

The Razorbacks' game against Auburn will kick off at 11 a.m. and will be the front end of a doubleheader on the network. CBS will show the matchup between Georgia and Kentucky in its mid-afternoon slot following Arkansas' game.

The network was also considering the LSU-Florida game for the front end of its doubleheader.

CBS has not televised a game in Fayetteville since November 2017 when Missouri defeated the Razorbacks 48-45 in Bret Bielema's final game as Arkansas' coach. The Razorbacks have not had a Saturday home game on CBS since a November 2016 game against Florida.

Arkansas is ranked 13th and Auburn is ranked 18th in this week's Associated Press Top 25 poll, but both are likely to fall in the poll following losses Saturday. The Razorbacks lost 52-51 at No. 17 Ole Miss, and the Tigers lost 34-10 at home to No. 2 Georgia.

Auburn (4-2, 1-1 SEC) has won five straight in the series against Arkansas (4-2, 1-2).
