FAYETTEVILLE — For the first time since 2013, Arkansas will play a Saturday night game at War Memorial Stadium.
The Razorbacks' Oct. 13 game against Ole Miss will begin at 6:30 p.m. The game will be televised by SEC Network.
Arkansas has not played a Saturday night game in Little Rock since a 2013 win over Samford. The Razorbacks' season-opening game against Florida A&M last season was at night, but it was moved from a Saturday to a Thursday.
SEC night games in Little Rock have been even more rare. Arkansas has not had a night kickoff against an SEC opponent there since a 2003 game against South Carolina on a Thursday. The last Saturday night SEC game at War Memorial was played against Mississippi State in 1999.
The Razorbacks' Saturday SEC games in Little Rock since that time have had kickoffs scheduled for late morning or the afternoon.
Ole Miss (3-2, 0-2 SEC) is scheduled to play at Louisiana-Monroe on Saturday. The Rebels have lost their two SEC games against Alabama and LSU by a combined score of 107-23.
Arkansas has won four consecutive games over Ole Miss, including a 38-37 win last season in Oxford, Miss., that the Rebels led by as many as 24 points.
