Family Weekend

September 25 - 27, 2026

Family Weekend is an opportunity for you and your family to return to campus and visit your student. Our office hosts a variety of events for guests to participate in, including Cardinal Nights: Casino Night, the traditional Family Tailgate, and Sunday Brunch in the dining hall with your student. PFA Cardinal Members also have the opportunity to attend the PFA Cardinal Member Reception on Friday night.

The Family Weekend registration is ($100) per person and includes:

Family Weekend T-Shirt and Memorabilia
Entrance to UARK Cardinal Nights (food available at event)
Entrance to Family Tailgate (food available at event)
Sunday Family Brunch
Eligibility to purchase discounted football tickets using a specialized link that will direct you to the Razorback Ticket Office. This is a separate purchase with a separate login. Plan to purchase your football tickets early as tickets are limited.

Important:

Football tickets are NOT included in packages but a link for purchasing discounted football tickets will be sent to your email after registration.
Discounted tickets are on a first come first serve basis.
You can purchase tickets directly from the Razorback Ticket Office.
Your student does not need to purchase a Family Weekend package to attend the Family Weekend events.

All packages are sold on a first come, first serve basis. Packages will be sold on our Razorback Family Portal. Refunds are not available.

Football Tickets

Please note that your Family Weekend registration purchase does not include your football tickets but simply makes you eligible to purchase a football ticket on a separate transaction at a discounted price. All tickets are on a first-come, first-served basis. You will receive a specialized link in your confirmation email after purchasing your Family Weekend package that will take you to the Razorback Ticket Office. You will purchase tickets directly from the Razorback Ticket Office.

NOTE: If you want your student to sit with you at the football game, you may use your specialized link to purchase their football ticket when you purchase your own through the Razorback Ticket Office. That is the only way to ensure that they will be seated with you.

Before You Place Your Order

Please read through our event descriptions and Family Weekend information carefully before placing your order to ensure that your order is accurate. Note that there are no refunds available for Family Weekend packages.
