Missouri Tigers’ SEC football schedule for 2025 includes a couple mild surprises
The Southeastern Conference unveiled Missouri football’s 2025 in-conference schedule on Wednesday afternoon, a lineup featuring two notable holdovers from the upcoming 2024 season.
First: The SEC is sticking with eight in-conference opponents for the 2025 season.
Second: Teams will play the same opponents in 2025 as they will this season, with the home venues reversed.
That means Mizzou will play SEC foes Alabama, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Auburn, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Mississippi State and Arkansas for two straight years.
In 2025, Missouri will play host to the Crimson Tide, Aggies, Gamecocks and Bulldogs at Memorial Stadium in Columbia. The Tigers will travel to face the Sooners, Commodores, Razorbacks and the Auburn Tigers.
Dates and times for Missouri’s 2025 slate will be announced later.
The SEC has considered moving to a nine-game conference slate for its members, but Wednesday’s announcement indicates that move will to wait at least one more year.
Missouri already has its four-game nonconference slate filled in for the 2025 season, and that set of games includes a biggie: The Border War is back in 2025, with Missouri set to play host to Kansas on Sept. 6, 2025, for the first matchup between the bitter rivals since MU left the Big 12.
The Tigers are also scheduled to play host to Louisiana and UMass and play a road game at Miami of Ohio. All nonconference games are subject to change, should teams opt to break their contracts.
Wednesday’s league-wide announcement means that Missouri will not face SEC newcomer Texas during the regular season for at least two years. The Longhorns join the conference this fall.
The Tigers also will go two seasons without a regular-season game against Georgia, Kentucky or Florida — teams they had faced every year since joining the SEC in 2012.
