The Razorbacks are playing a shortened, eight-game conference-only regular season schedule in the fall due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The season began on September 19 with a home game against LSU and ended with the SEC Tournament Championship on November 22. On February 3, 2021, it was announced that Arkansas would play a six-game non-conference spring schedule, beginning on February 21 and ending April 15.
Previous season edit
In 2019, the Razorbacks finished the regular season 14–2–2, 8–1–1 in SEC play, winning their first regular-season SEC championship and capturing the top overall seed in the SEC Tournament, where they defeated 6-seed Ole Miss and 5-seed Florida en route to the championship game, where they fell 0–1 to 3-seed South Carolina. The Razorbacks were selected as an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, where they received a 3-seed and defeated North Texas in the first round of the Stanford bracket before being defeated in the second round by NC State. The Hogs finished their season with a record of 17–4–2.
