Following the team’s night time matchup with Tennessee this upcoming Saturday, fans of the Alabama Crimson Tide won’t need to wait long for it’s next night time matchup. The following week Alabama will host the Arkansas Razorbacks on Oct. 26 with a kick-off at 6 p.m. CT which will be aired on ESPN.
This is the second week in a row that ESPN will air an Alabama game on its main network and will be the Crimson Tide’s homecoming game. Under Nick Saban, Alabama is 12-0 in its homecoming matchups and 84-13-1 all-time.

The matchup will be the 30th time the two SEC west opponents meet with Alabama leading the series with a 22-7 record against the Razorbacks. Alabama has also won 12 games in a row against Arkansas.
Led by head coach Chad Morris, the 2019 edition of Arkansas has struggled to this point in the season. Currently sitting at 2-4 on the year Morris is still set on battling his way out of adversity.
“The message is real simple,” said Morris. “The only way we’re gonna get out of this is we just gotta keep pushing. We gotta lean into this. We gotta take steps in the right direction. We gotta clean up the mistakes. We gotta execute better. That’s on everybody. There’s no quit in us.
Dating back to last year when the Razorbacks posted an 0-10 in the SEC, the team has now lost 14 straight conference games and still needs to play Alabama, Mississippi State, LSU and Missouri.
