Mizzou ’25 Football Schedule Full of Challenges & Opportunities

There is still business to be handled for Mizzou football for this calendar year with the Music City Bowl game in Nashville against the University of Iowa Hawkeyes December 30^th.  But, the 2025 schedule has dropped and it already has fans looking ahead.

A quick scan of the schedule shows eight (!!!) home games. Six straight at home to start the season, highlighted by the sixth one when hosting SEC foe Alabama at Faurot Field Oct. 11^th.

The Tigers also host Texas A&M Nov 8^th, and the old rivalry will be renewed September 6^th when the Kansas Jayhawks arrive in Columbia. The last time these two teams met was in 2011 at Arrowhead in Kansas City. Mizzou won that game 24-10. Mizzou joined the SEC the next year and the two haven’t lined up across from each other since. Although, Mizzou fans sing about playing the Jayhawks (or something like that) at every home game. The series is close with Missouri standing at 56 wins to KU’s 55. The last time the Jayhawks showed up at Faurot was 2006. The Tigers won that one 42-17.

The SEC has worked to make the Arkansas Razorbacks Mizzou’s natural rival. That’s fine, but the history is west on I-70. It always has been.

Think these two teams aren’t still a focus of each other even though they haven’t played in almost fifteen years on the field? There’s a Wikipedia page about the Missouri/Kansas rivalry, and the Mizzou Tiger website has a whole history section dedicated to the Jayhawk rivalry statistically.

The Tigers wrap their home schedule November 15^th hosting Mississippi State. While playing their four road games at Auburn and Vanderbilt mid-conference schedule and finishing on the road against the Oklahoma Sooners in Norman, OK. November 22^nd and the Arkansas Razorbacks in Fayetteville, AR. November 29^th.

It's too early to gauge wins and losses, but fun and excitement are definitely on the schedule.
