The Alabama football schedule has its first road game against Arkansas on Saturday, Oct. 1. The game time is set for 2:30 p.m. CT at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium, the SEC announced Monday.

The game can be watched on CBS.

No. 2 Alabama (3-0) will face No. 10 Arkansas (3-0), who is in its third year under coach Sam Pittman. He has gone 0-2 against the Crimson Tide and Nick Saban.

The first matchup was a blowout as Alabama won 52-3 in 2020. The rematch in Tuscaloosa in 2021 was much more of a battle. Crimson Tide quarterback Bryce Young passed threw for 559 yards, a school record, and five touchdowns. Jameson Williams caught three of those touchdowns. Arkansas' Treylon Burks also caught multiple touchdowns. The two receivers have since gone to the NFL.

The Razorbacks have never beaten Nick Saban over his previous 15 seasons. The last time Arkansas defeated Alabama was September 2006 as the Razorbacks narrowly beat the Crimson Tide 24-23 in Fayetteville.

This season, Alabama has had two big wins over Utah State (55-0 win) and Louisiana Monroe (63-7 win) this past weekend. The Crimson Tide's second game of the season required a game-winning field goal from Will Reichard in the fourth quarter to beat Texas 20-19.

Arkansas had a strong two-game start to the season with a win over then a ranked Cincinnati team 31-24 and South Carolina 44-30. The Razorbacks had a surprising stumble against Missouri State, an FCS team, before Arkansas collected itself and closed out the game with a 38-27 win.

The Razorbacks have another game against a ranked opponent before it faces Alabama. First, Arkansas will face No. 20 Texas A&M on Saturday, Sept. 24. Meanwhile, the Crimson Tide will open SEC play against Vanderbilt (6:30 p.m., SEC Network).
