FAYETTEVILLE — Four of Arkansas' SEC baseball games will be broadcast on regional or national television this season, according to the Southeastern Conference.
At least three games involving the Razorbacks will be broadcast nationally. The Hogs' first nationally televised game is scheduled for April 16, when they host Georgia on ESPN2.
The SEC released Monday its television broadcast schedule for all of its conference games, which is part of a new television deal that will encompass 46 games. The 15-year contract with ESPN bumps the number of televised broadcasts from eight last season.
The Diamond Hogs' trip to Ole Miss on May 7 will air on ESPNU and is set for 7 p.m. CT. The second game of the series against the Rebels on May 8 will also air on ESPNU at 7 p.m.
Arkansas' trip to Vanderbilt on May 22 will air regionally on an allegiance of networks, including Fox Sports South, Sun Sports, Fox Sports South and Fox Sports Houston. That game is set for 2 p.m. CT.
The broadcast rights to non-conference games not included in the SEC package are owned by the University of Arkansas, and other regional broadcasts are a possibility.
The SEC Tournament in Hoover, Ala., which runs May 26-30, will air regionally and the championship game will appear on ESPN2.
The Razorbacks open the season Feb. 19 against Ball State at Baum Stadium.
