FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas 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,” Arkansas 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.”
