FAYETTEVILLE – Razorback Soccer will return to action in August to kick off the 2023-24 athletic year.
The slate features a total of 17 regular season matches against nine 2022 NCAA Tournament teams, two College Cup teams, three Elite 8 teams, and three league champions. Of the 17 matches, nine and the two exhibitions will be played at Razorback Field.
“The schedule meets all of our objectives,” head coach Colby Hale said. “It prepares us for SEC play, and we get outside of our comfort zone, which gives us an opportunity to grow, and it sets us up for the postseason per the parameters they lay out. If you want to be a championship program, you have to play a top schedule, and this certainly seems to fit that.”

2023 Notes
- Arkansas will begin the season at Razorback Field for just the second time since 2016.
- The Hogs will face Milwaukee and Oregon for the first time in program history.
- For the second year in a row, the Hogs will face the national runner-up. Last season it was BYU, this year it will be North Carolina.
- The exhibition versus Kansas State will be the first match played on Razorback Field’s new pitch. From May to July, the field underwent subgrading, installation of a new drainage system, and new sod (Tahoma 31 Bermudagrass), which will be trucked in from the same farm as the grass in Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
- Arkansas will face four non-conference Power 5 teams in 2023, the most since it faced four in 2014.
- The Hogs will debut two new uniforms to be revealed later this summer.
- The Razorbacks are returning 69% of their offense from last season.
- The SEC Tournament will return to Pensacola, Florida for the second straight year. It will include the top 10 teams in the league and run from Oct. 29 to Nov. 5.
- Clemson and North Carolina will make return trips to Fayetteville in 2024 as part of home-and-home series.
