Mizzou Football Schedule 2025: Full Game List, Can’t-Miss Matchups & TV Times

The University of Missouri has unveiled a 12-game slate that should keep Faurot Field buzzing from late August through Thanksgiving weekend. Below is everything fans need to know about the 2025 Mizzou football schedule, including dates, opponents, kickoff windows and the marquee storylines that will shape Eli Drinkwitz’s sixth season in Columbia. Non-conference appetizer features a Border Showdown revival • Thu., Aug. 28 – Central Arkansas (SEC Network, 6:30 p.m.) • Sat., Sept. 6 – Kansas (ESPN2, 2:30 p.m.) • Sat., Sept. 13 – Louisiana (SECN+/ESPN+, Noon) — Family Weekend SOLD OUT Opening with an FCS warm-up, the Tigers quickly jump into a head-liner when the storied Kansas rivalry comes to Columbia for the first time since 2011. A sold-out Family Weekend clash with Louisiana wraps up the three-game homestand. SEC gauntlet begins with back-to-back ranked visitors • Sat., Sept. 20 – South Carolina (#11/#10) – ABC/ESPN night kickoff, Wear White • Sat., Sept. 27 – UMass – 114th Homecoming, Gold Rush • Sat., Oct. 11 – Alabama (#19/#18) – ABC/ESPN, 11 a.m. CT, Gold Rush (sold out) A white-out versus Spencer Rattler and South Carolina leads into Homecoming against UMass, but the early-October showdown with Alabama could define Missouri’s SEC East aspirations. Road stretch could make or break November • Sat., Oct. 18 – at Auburn (#24/RV) – CBS/ESPN flex window • Sat., Oct. 25 – at Vanderbilt – Nashville flex window • Sat., Nov. 8 – Texas A&M (#16/#17) – Wear Black, Columbia flex window • Sat., Nov. 15 – Mississippi State – Military Appreciation night • Sat., Nov. 22 – at Oklahoma (#13/#16) – ABC/ESPN, 11 a.m. • Sat., Nov. 29 – at Arkansas – Battle Line Rivalry night game Missouri’s lone bye (Oct. 4) sits between home dates, meaning six of the final eight weeks include SEC opponents ranked in preseason polls. A November trip to new-look Oklahoma and a season-ending Battle Line Rivalry in Fayetteville loom as potential CFP résumé boosters. Key takeaways for fans and recruits • Seven home games, five true road tests. • Three theme games: Wear White, Gold Rush, Wear Black. • TV homes: ABC/ESPN package dominates, with SEC Network+ streaming one non-conference tilt. • Limited single-game tickets remain; secondary market spikes projected for Kansas, Alabama and Texas A&M. • Early bye should help a roster headlined by QB Brady Cook and WR Luther Burden III stay fresh for the stretch run. Why it matters for 2025 The Tigers are coming off back-to-back bowl seasons and return the SEC’s third-highest offensive production. Navigating this schedule with eight wins or more would cement Missouri as a legitimate challenger in a newly expanded 16-team SEC while positioning Drinkwitz favorably on the recruiting trail.
