The SEC also announced Arkansas’ Oct. 15 game at BYU will be shown on an ESPN affiliate, but an exact network and game time are still to be determined.
With Thursday’s announcement, four game times and networks are known for Arkansas in the upcoming season. In April, CBS announced it would televise the Razorbacks’ Nov. 25 game at Missouri beginning at 2:30 p.m.
Most game times and networks will be decided 12 days in advance of the game during the season.
