"I like the schedule," Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman said. "I'm really excited about the way [the SEC] did it. It's fair. I like where we're at. I like the two byes."

Arkansas's 2024 conference opponents were announced in June, shortly after SEC Commission Greg Sankey revealed the league was sticking with an eight-game conference schedule despite expanding to 16 teams with the addition of Texas and Oklahoma.
SEC teams were required to schedule at least one opponent from the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, or a major independent.
In addition to the eight-game conference schedule, the SEC will play without a two-division structure in 2024 for the first time since 1991, which means the league's top two teams will meet in the SEC championship game.
The conference's schedule model beyond 2024 is to be determined.
