Missouri Women's Basketball Expands Nonconference Slate for 2026‑27
The Missouri women's basketball program has locked in three additional nonconference matchups for the 2026‑27 season, bringing the total confirmed games to five and leaving space for up to ten more contests before the regular season begins.
The first of those games will see the Tigers host Lindenwood on November 15 at Mizzou Arena, for which Missouri will pay a $25,000 appearance fee. A week later, the team travels to Daytona Beach for the Coast‑to‑Coast Classic, opening with a matchup against Maine on November 27 before facing Robert Morris on November 28. Both opponents posted winning records a season ago, with Maine finishing 19‑13 and Robert Morris at 18‑12.
In addition to the Classic, Missouri will test itself against Kansas State in a neutral‑site showdown on November 22 at the T‑Mobile Center in Kansas City, and will head to Tallahassee for an ACC/SEC Challenge game on December 3 against Florida State. The schedule also includes a road trip to Florida State as part of the challenge, adding another layer of competition early in the campaign.
The SEC has announced home and road designations for conference play, confirming that Missouri will host Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi State, South Carolina and Tennessee at Mizzou Arena throughout the upcoming season. Those matchups will shape the bulk of the Tigers’ conference slate.
Beyond the current roster, Coach Harper’s squad is slated to travel to face traditional powerhouses Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Texas and Oklahoma in the coming year, underscoring the program’s ambitious nonconference agenda.
