It was announced earlier this season that the traditional slot for the Tigers and Razorbacks ' matchup was moving. The two teams have faced off on Black Friday every season — excluding the pandemic-impacted 2020 campaign — since 2014. It typically aired on CBS, but the television network's deal with the SEC expired after the 2023 season.
This year, Georgia's game against Georgia Tech and the Egg Bowl between Ole Miss and Mississippi State will air on ABC on the day after Thanksgiving. There has been no announcement on whether Missouri and Arkansas will permanently be a Saturday game moving forward.

Before the Tigers (7-3, 3-3 SEC) host the Hogs in Columbia, coach Eli Drinkwitz's team travels to Starkville, Mississippi , for a matchup against Mississippi State this upcoming Saturday. The Razorbacks (5-5, 3-4) will face Louisiana Tech in a nonconference game this upcoming Saturday in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
It is likely that the Missouri-Arkansas matchup will be the last game on Faurot Field for the likes of quarterback Brady Cook and wide receivers Luther Burden III and Theo Wease Jr., among others. Cook and Wease are out of eligibility at the end of this season, and Burden is likely to declare for the NFL Draft following his junior campaign.
