Missouri football’s 2026 season is right around the corner, with less than three weeks remaining until Eli Drinkwitz’s team opens up its new campaign in newly renovated Memorial Stadium.
Mizzou will head into the season as a ranked outfit, as the Tigers were picked as the No. 25 team in the preseason US LBM Coaches Poll. Five preseason top-10 teams are on the schedule for Missouri this year, as head coach Eli Drinkwitz enters his seventh season in charge of the program.

This is the first season with a nine-game conference schedule in the SEC. Before getting to league play, Mizzou will play two nonconference home games and make a trip across the state line to the west to play Border War.
The Tigers are currently in the middle of their preseason camp, with a number of key position competitions still taking place at right tackle, left guard, and across the defense.
Here is Mizzou’s full 2026 schedule, including dates and, where available, TV designations and kickoff times:
