- SEC announces full 2025 Missouri football schedule. Here’s when Tigers play

Racing
The schedule is set.
Missouri football learned the dates of each of its 2025 conference matchups, as the SEC announced its full slate of games.
The opponents the Tigers will play has already been settled, as the conference announced earlier that each SEC team would play the same teams on its 2024 slate but in reverse. That means every league opponent that Mizzou played at home this season will be a road game in 2025 — and vice versa.
Missouri will play Auburn (Oct. 18), Vanderbilt (Oct. 25), Oklahoma (Nov. 22) and Arkansas (Nov. 29) on the road in 2025.
Coming to Faurot Field in Columbia in 2025: South Carolina (Sept. 20); Alabama (Oct. 11); Texas A&M (Nov. 8); and Mississippi State (Nov. 15).
The Tigers are set to play four home games in their nonconference schedule next season. The headliner, clearly, is the renewal of the Border War matchup on the gridiron, with Kansas set to visit Columbia on Sept. 6 for the first time since 2006. It will be the first MU-KU football game since 2012, with the past five all taking place at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.

Elsewhere on the noncon slate, Mizzou will open its 2025 season against Central Arkansas on Aug. 30, although — as has been recent tradition — that game may be moved to the the Thursday two days earlier. In October, the Tigers face Louisiana-Lafayette (Sept. 13) and UMass (Sept. 27).
The Tigers' idle weeks in 2025 will be Week 6 (Oct. 4) and Week 10 (Nov. 1). With the way the schedule sets up, Mizzou has six straight home games to open the season.
