Mizzou Football home games: Dates, opponents and what matters
Mizzou Football home games are concentrated on a few must-see weekends: Homecoming vs. Florida (Oct. 3), Texas A&M (Oct. 10), Texas in Columbia (Nov. 7), and Oklahoma on Senior Day (Nov. 28). This short guide lists the headline home dates, breaks down the marquee matchups and explains how Faurot Field and current betting lines factor into the season outlook.
Mizzou Football home games: Top dates to mark
Headline home dates for Missouri fans to lock in now:
- Oct. 3 — Missouri hosts Florida (Homecoming)
- Oct. 10 — Missouri vs. Texas A&M
- Nov. 7 — Texas Longhorns visit Columbia (first visit since 2011; see source)
- Nov. 28 — Oklahoma on Senior Day
Exact kickoff times and ticket-release details come from the athletics department, but these dates are the calendar anchors most likely to drive travel decisions and resale value.
Homecoming, marquee matchups and what to expect
Homecoming (Oct. 3) is the emotional centerpiece for the early home slate — alumni and student events fill Columbia and Faurot Field usually reaches a peak atmosphere. Florida arrives under new leadership with Jon Sumrall, and if Missouri can be 2-0 after the SEC opener at Mississippi State, Homecoming could have extra momentum.
The week after Homecoming, Missouri hosts Texas A&M (Oct. 10), a game that doubles as a statement opportunity against an SEC opponent coached by Mike Elko. On Nov. 7 the Texas Longhorns make their first Columbia visit since 2011 (see source for visit history), a matchup that typically draws heavy interest and recruiting-day attention. Closing the home slate on Nov. 28 with Oklahoma on Senior Day gives fans another high-profile environment to send off the program’s seniors.
Faurot Field edge, betting context and season outlook
Missouri’s home advantage has been notable: the Tigers went 20-3 at Faurot Field over the last three seasons (source cited below). That 20-3 mark is a clear factor when top opponents come to Columbia and is something to weigh when projecting how the schedule might swing in Missouri’s favor.
On the betting front, as of publication on July 1, 2026, FanDuel lists Missouri’s season over/under win total at 6.5. Betting markets move, so treat that number as a snapshot rather than a fixed prediction. A win in the SEC opener at Mississippi State and a 2-0 start in conference play would likely change both perception and lines as the season progresses.
Injuries, roster moves and in-season adjustments will also shape outcomes; use the FanDuel number and home-field trends as data points, not a definitive forecast.
