ABC Picks Up Memphis-Arkansas for Saturday Showdown
Sep 14, 2025 | Football
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.
New this year, fans are encouraged to purchase early and save. Ticket prices will increase by $5 during game week ($10 for Arkansas) and again by an additional $5 on game day ($10 for Arkansas) at the Box Office. This change helps support enhanced planning for security, concessions and staffing. Historically, over 90% of single-game tickets are purchased during game week.
Season ticket prices remain unchanged from 2024, following a perfect 7-0 home campaign. With prices averaging under $25 per game, season tickets remain the best value for Tiger fans. Tickets can be purchased online at GoTigersGo.com or by calling the Memphis Ticket Office at (901) 678-2331.
For fans seeking more flexibility, the Memphis Football Mini Plan offers access to three premier matchups — Arkansas, Tulsa, and South Florida — starting at just $85.
