The Arkansas volleyball team’s 21 victories last season was the program’s most in 10 years. Now the Razorbacks will set out to improve on that mark in 2023, and will get to do so with some expanded national exposure.
Arkansas will play on national television seven times this season, with a slate featuring non-conference and SEC opponents. The televised matches will include showdowns with a pair of reigning conference champions, as well as three NCAA Tournament teams.
After opening the season at home against Michigan State on Aug. 25 and Tulsa on Aug 27, the Razorbacks will be nationally televised on back-to-back nights against 2022 Big Ten champion Wisconsin in Barnhill Arena. Their Aug. 30 match with the Badgers will be aired on the SEC Network, before the two teams face off the following night on ESPNU. Both matches will begin at 7 p.m.
The Hogs will open conference play on the SEC Network Sept. 22, hosting South Carolina at 7 p.m.
The Razorbacks are coming off their best season under 8th-year head coach Jason Watson, finishing 21-9 overall and 11-7 in the SEC. They defeated Utah State in the opener of the NCAA Tournament, before falling to No. 3 Oregon.
Conference matches not broadcast on linear television will be featured on SEC Network-Plus, while streaming information for non-conference contests will be announced by the university when available.
