SEC coaches have once again placed the Arkansas Razorbacks in the second spot of their preseason conference poll, marking the seventh straight year the program has been projected to finish inside the top two.
That forecast continues a streak of dominance that began when Arkansas captured the league title in 2025, a season that also delivered the team's fifth regular‑season championship in the past seven years.
Preseason Outlook
The 2026 women’s college soccer campaign officially opens on Wednesday, August 12, with the Hogs set to host Baylor at Razorback Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m., promising a high‑stakes opening test for the defending champions.
A free public exhibition match against Kansas City is slated for Wednesday, August 5, giving fans an early glimpse of the squad’s chemistry before the regular season begins.
With the preseason expectations already high, the coaching staff remains focused on maintaining the program’s upward trajectory, emphasizing development and depth as the roster prepares for the upcoming grind.
