Southeastern Conference unveils Mizzou football’s full 2026 slate
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
The Southeastern Conference announced the dates of the Mizzou football team's full 12-game 2026 slate, on Thursday night. However, kickoff times will be announced at a later date.
The structure of MU's schedule looks a little bit different than it has in the past few years for head coach Eli Drinkwitz and company. It'll be the first time since the 2023 season that Mizzou will not have at least four home games to open up the year.
The Tigers will open up the non-conference slate on Sept. 5 against Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Then, Drinkwitz and his team will hit the road in week two for a trophy game against Kansas. It'll be the first time that MU has played in Lawrence since 2005.
The following weekend, Mizzou will return home to host Troy, before starting up the Southeastern Conference schedule the very next week.
MU will host five SEC games in 2026, including a two-game home-stand to end the regular-season.
Coach Drinkwitz and his team will open up the month of October with the conference opener against Florida, which will be Mizzou's homecoming game, followed by a clash against Texas A&M at Faurot Field.
A pair of away games will close out the month of October, including a notable shift in Mizzou's schedule. The Arkansas game, which has been held on Thanksgiving weekend for quite some time, will be played on Halloween in Fayetteville. The Tigers will look for their fifth-straight win over the Razorbacks on Oct. 31.
The month of November will start at Memorial Stadium, as the Texas Longhorns will come to Columbia for the first time since 2011.
Mizzou will then hit the road one last time on Nov. 14 in a trip to Athens, Georgia, before finishing out the season at home with games against Kentucky and a rivalry weekend showdown against Oklahoma to close out the slate.
