ABC Picks Up Memphis-Arkansas for Saturday Showdown
 
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The American Conference announced Saturday evening that the University of Memphis football team’s early window matchup with Arkansas at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium on Saturday, September 20, will be nationally televised on ABC at 11 a.m.

The broadcast marks Memphis’ first appearance on ABC since Oct. 17, 2020, when the Tigers defeated UCF, 50-49, in a nationally recognized thriller. It will also be the first ABC telecast from an American Conference campus since Nov. 18, 2023, when No. 18 Tulane hosted UTSA in New Orleans.


Memphis enters the contest unbeaten at 3-0 after defeating Troy, 28-7, on the road Saturday afternoon, while Arkansas brings a 2-1 record to town following a 41-35 loss at Ole Miss.

Despite being separated by just over 300 miles, it will be the first meeting between the programs since Oct. 10, 1998.

The Tigers and Razorbacks will meet in front of a national audience in one of the marquee nonconference matchups of the college football weekend.
