Missouri Tigers Set for Single SEC Home Night Game in 2026

The Missouri Tigers will host only one night game during their 2026 SEC home schedule, following the recent announcement of kickoff times. On June 10, the Southeastern Conference revealed its full slate of kickoff windows, which include early, afternoon, and night options for the upcoming season.

For the 2026 season, Missouri will have two confirmed night games, both set to begin between 5-7 p.m. CDT. These matchups include an away game against Mississippi State on September 26 and a home game against Kentucky on November 21. Additionally, the Tigers will play two early games at home: against Texas A&M on October 10 and Texas on November 7, both scheduled to kick off between 11 a.m. and noon.

Missouri will also participate in two afternoon games, starting between 2:30-3:30 p.m. These contests will take place at Ole Miss on October 17 and during the regular-season finale against Oklahoma on November 28. Other games on the schedule have been given a “flex” designation, meaning their kickoff times will be confirmed closer to game day, typically six to twelve days prior.

The flex games include the homecoming match against Florida on October 3, the Battle Line rivalry against Arkansas on October 31, and an away game at Georgia on November 14. This gives Missouri the potential for an additional night game if the Florida matchup is assigned an evening kickoff.

Missouri has already scheduled its first three non-conference games for the season. They will face Arkansas-Pine Bluff on September 3 with a 7 p.m. kickoff on SEC Network, meet Kansas on September 11 at 7 p.m. on FOX, and play Troy on September 19 at 11:45 a.m. via SECN+, exclusively available for streaming.
