Tennessee football will be wearing all white for its first SEC road game of the 2026 season at Arkansas.
The Vols will sport white helmets, white jerseys and white pants as they try to snap a four-game road losing streak vs. the Razorbacks at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium that dates back to 2001.

No. 14 Tennessee (4-1, 1-1 SEC) and Arkansas (2-3, 0-2) play Oct. 10 (4:15 p.m. ET, SEC Network) in Fayetteville, Arkansas..
What is Tennessee's record in each uniform combination during the 2026 season?
Tennessee is 2-1 in their traditional home uniforms of white helmets and pants, and orange jerseys so far this season. The Vols routed Furman 56-9 win in on Sept. 5 and beat Kennesaw State 42-9 on Sept. 19, both games at Neyland Stadium. They also suffered a 20-17 loss to No.
1 Texas on Sept. 26 while wearing the usual home uniform.
UT has worn white helmets, uniforms and pants just once this season at Georgia Tech on Sept. 12 and won 45-24. It won two of four games in the all-white combination in 2025, notching wins over Kentucky and Florida but losing to Alabama and Illinois.
The Vols are also a perfect 5-0 in grey uniforms since 2022, with the latest win coming on Oct. 3 at home vs. Auburn. They also beat LSU 40-13 in 2022, Austin Peay 30-13 in 2023, Chattanooga 69-3 in 2024 and New Mexico State 42-9 in 2025 while wearing different editions of the "Smokey Grey" uniforms.
What alternate uniforms will Tennessee wear this season?
The Vols wore alternate uniforms for the first time this season vs. Auburn, when they honored the iconic coach Gen. Robert Neyland with their grey "Neyland Legacy" uniforms. They have two more alternate looks coming later in the season.
While not necessarily an alternate uniform, the Vols will add a special, throwback flare to the Third Saturday in October this year. UT will wear orange uniforms and Alabama will wear crimson in each of the next two games played between the two schools. The Oct. 17, 2026 matchup will be the first color-on-color clash between the two rivals since 1970.
The Vols also have their "dark mode" all black uniforms available for a later date. They are 5-2 when wearing black alternate uniforms since 2009. The last time UT wore black football uniforms, they lost 33-27 to Oklahoma at Neyland Stadium on Nov. 1, 2025.
