Kickoff times for the first three Mizzou Tigers football games were announced Thursday, May 29 by the University of Missouri.

Mizzou will kick off the 2025 season at Faurot Field on Thursday, Aug. 28 against Central Arkansas. The game against the Bears will begin at 6:30 p.m. That will be the first of six consecutive home games to start the season for Mizzou. The return of the Border Showdown against Kansas will kick off at 2:30 p.m. on Sept. 6. It’ll mark the Jayhawks’ first trip to Columbia since 2006, as the archrivals moved their series to Arrowhead Stadium in 2007 prior to Mizzou’s departure from the Big 12 to the SEC. Another non-conference game, against the Ragin’ Cajuns of Louisiana-Lafayette, will have a kickoff time of 3:00 p.m. on Sept. 13. All games will air on KMMO with coverage from the Tiger Radio Network.

The Missouri State Bears’ first season in Conference USA and the Football Bowl Subdivision will kick off Aug. 30 at Southern California. The Bears will take the field at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum that evening at 6:30 p.m. The Bears will have their home opener Sept. 13 against Southern Methodist at 2:30 p.m.
