The 2024 Arkansas Razorbacks softball team represents the University of Arkansas in the 2024 NCAA Division I softball season. The Razorbacks are led by ninth-year head coach Courtney Deifel and play their home games at Bogle Park in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

Previous season

After a 38–16 regular-season campaign in 2023, the Razorbacks fell in their first game of the SEC tournament, which was hosted at Bogle Park, to Alabama by a one-run margin.[3] Arkansas was selected to host an NCAA regional for the third consecutive season as the No. 11 national seed.[4] They were paired with Oregon, Notre Dame, and Harvard;[5] After a defeat of Harvard,[6] the Razorbacks fell to Oregon, putting them in the consolation bracket.[7] A win to eliminate Notre Dame put them in the regional final, needing two wins against Oregon to advance to the super regional, [8] but a nine-run defeat to the Ducks ended Arkansas' season.[9] The team finished with a record of 40–19.[10]
