The University of Arkansas at Monticello football team returns home for week eight of the 2026 season and is scheduled to host #2 Harding University. This Saturday’s game will be the 2026 Pink Out Game.

Coming off a tough 62-10 road loss to Ouachita Baptist University in week seven, the Weevils are looking to bounce back as they return home to face the nationally ranked Bisons.
