The Southeastern Conference will begin a 10-game stretch of all-conference football games on Saturday, September 26th, announcing seven games at mid-afternoon on Monday, before the complete schedule was released live on the SEC Network on Monday night.
Missouri’s ten-game schedule has a significant strength of schedule lean toward the opening stretch, as Nick Saban’s national powerhouse from Alabama will travel to Columbia to take on Mizzou in the season opener on September 26th, with MU’s first road game at Tennessee on October 3rd followed by a trek to Death Valley to play the defending national champion LSU Tigers on October 10th.
Vanderbilt will take on Missouri at Faurot Field in Columbia on October 17th before the Tigers take on SEC East rival Florida in Gainesville on October 24th.
The second five-game stretch for the Tigers, and rookie coach Eliah Drinkwitz, begins with a visit from Kentucky to MU on Halloween, Saturday, October 31st, with an open date on November 7th. The four-game Saturday stretch to complete the regular season finds powerhouse Georgia at Missouri on November 14th, Missouri at South Carolina on November 21st, Arkansas at Missouri in the Battle Line Rivalry on November 28th, and the Tigers in Starkville, Mississippi to take on Mississippi State on December 5th.
Alabama’s trip to Missouri will be the first for the Crimson Tide since 2012, with Missouri’s trip to Louisiana State the first for the program since 2016. Also notable is the game against Arkansas, originally scheduled to be played at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, will now be played at Faurot Field in Columbia on November 28th. Missouri’s newly minted 10-game schedule has MU playing the country’s 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 8th ranked teams from the preseason polls.
