Arkansas’s 2017 football season is going to get started three days earlier than originally scheduled.

According to a release from the school, the Razorbacks will open the season against Florida A&M on Thursday, Aug. 31, instead of Saturday, Sept. 2.

The game will be held at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock and will feature the Hogs taking on an FCS opponent in the Rattlers:

“This is an exciting opportunity for our program and our fans to be featured on the first Thursday night of the 2017 college football season on the SEC Network,” Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Jeff Long said. “I was excited about the possibility when the SEC offered the opportunity and I think it’s a great way for our fans to kick off the season and the holiday weekend. I want to thank Kevin Crass and the War Memorial Stadium Commission as well as several local hotel owners for working with us to accommodate Florida A&M in Little Rock on these dates.”

The season opener will be televised on the SEC Network and will kick off at 7 p.m. Central time.
