The Gymbacks continue postseason action next week with the NCAA Fayetteville Regional, in which they have been seeded 10th.

Arkansas will host No. 2 LSU, No. 7 Kentucky, No. 15 Minnesota, Arizona, Nebraska, Oregon State and Boise State and BYU. The Broncos and Cougars will compete in a play-in dual meet on Wednesday, with the winner advancing to Thursday's evening semifinal session with the Tigers, Gophers and Beavers. The Gymbacks will compete in the Thursday afternoon semifinal with both Wildcats - Kentucky and Arizona - and the Huskers.

The top two teams from each Thursday semi will advance to Saturday's regional final, and the top two from that contest earn berths to the 2024 NCAA Gymnastics National Championship in Fort Worth April 18-20.

Arkansas will face some familiar foes in regional competition, as the Hogs have already faced off with four teams in the field this season, including all the teams in their semifinal session.

The SEC will be well-represented in Fayetteville, with the newly-crowned conference champion LSU Tigers and Kentucky Wildcats coming to town. Arkansas fell to the Tigers in regular season competition in Baton Rouge, but the Gymbacks defeated the then-No. 6 Wildcats at home on Feb. 23, the highest-ranked win for the Hogs since 2016.

The full regional schedule is as follows:

Play-In Meet: Wednesday, April 3

  • BYU vs. Boise State - 2 p.m. CT

Semifinal I: Thursday, April 4

  • No. 10 Arkansas/No. 7 Kentucky/Arizona/Nebraska - 1 p.m. CT

Semifinal II: Thursday, April 4

  • No. 2 LSU/No. 15 Minnesota/Oregon State/Winner of BYU vs. Boise St. - 7 p.m. CT

Regional Final: Saturday, April 6

  • Top two from Semifinal I/Top two from Semifinal II - 5 p.m. CT

All sessions of regional competition will be streamed live on ESPN+. Both single session and all-session tickets are now available via Razorback Ticket Center.
