Arkansas Plays Thanksgiving Again | SEC Basketball News

Arkansas basketball is back on Thanksgiving Day in 2026, taking on Michigan State in a primetime CBS showdown at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit — their third straight holiday game that’s already turning heads with massive viewership. Last year’s Thanksgiving clash with Duke shattered records as the most-watched college basketball game of the season. Though this neutral-site matchup isn’t in Fayetteville, Coach Calipari confirmed Michigan State will still visit Arkansas in the future. The Razorbacks are building a brutal schedule, including road games against North Carolina and a neutral-site tilt with Arizona in Phoenix, all in preparation for SEC play. Coming off a 28-win season and a SEC Tournament title, Arkansas is also stocked with a top-tier recruiting class, setting the stage for another dominant campaign.
