Arkansas played as a member of the Western Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC).

On November 10, 2019, a day after the Razorbacks' loss to Western Kentucky, second-year head coach Chad Morris was fired.

The SEC media poll was released on July 19, 2019, with the Razorbacks predicted to finish in last place.

The Razorbacks hosted SEC foes Auburn and Mississippi State in Fayetteville, and Missouri in Little Rock.

The Hogs traveled to face Ole Miss, Kentucky, Alabama, and LSU.
