Memphis Tigers Football: Rise and Shine

The Memphis Tigers are no strangers to big matchups, but things will get started early this time. On September 20, the Tigers will face off against the Arkansas Razorbacks with an 11 AM kickoff—a bright and energetic start to a highly anticipated regional showdown. These two programs know how to bring the energy, and Memphis fans from Midtown to Germantown are already marking their calendars.

Why the Early Start?

An 11 AM kickoff might mean setting your alarm a bit earlier, but it also offers a great excuse for a true Memphis brunch tailgate. From famous Gibson’s Donuts to locally roasted coffee, there’s no shortage of ways to fuel up as you cheer on the Tigers. Early games have a way of energizing the crowd and giving fans the whole day to celebrate afterwards. In a city that’s always up for a party, expect the Liberty Bowl to be lively well before noon.

Rivalry, History, and Hopes

The Tigers and the Razorbacks share a border-state rivalry that stretches back decades, meeting over 20 times in history. While Arkansas brings an SEC pedigree, Memphis has carved out its own legacy—home to legends and some of the loudest fans in college football. This game could have big implications for both teams as they look to build a winning season in the tough college landscape.
