The countdown to the 2026 Mizzou football season is now at 100 days, a milestone that coincides with the 100th anniversary of Memorial Stadium.
To mark the occasion, the university is unveiling a $250 million north end zone expansion that will reshape the venue’s skyline and provide state‑of‑the‑art amenities for fans.
The Memorial Stadium Centennial Project also includes upgrades to the east and west concourses, aiming to improve traffic flow and enhance the overall game‑day experience.
The 100th Anniversary Game
The third‑week home matchup against Troy on September 19 has been officially designated as the centennial game, a tribute that will be highlighted with special on‑field ceremonies and historic retrospectives.
Further details about the commemorative programming will be released later this summer, promising a blend of past legends and future stars.
Alongside the stadium upgrades, Mizzou Athletics will roll out a line of new commemorative memorabilia and exclusive merchandise collections for fans to collect.
The season will open on September 3 with a home game against Arkansas‑Pine Bluff, branded as the "Kickoff in CoMo" event, and the contest will be carried live on the SEC Network, continuing a streak of sold‑out crowds.
Mizzou’s home‑field dominance is underscored by a program‑record 20‑game sellout streak, a testament to the community’s unwavering support.
University officials say the centennial celebrations will weave together tradition and innovation, setting the tone for a landmark year in Tigers football.
