Mizzou Sets the Stage for 100th Anniversary Showdown

Season opener, broadcast details and commemorative releases announced for the Troy clash

Centennial Celebration

Mizzou football will mark a milestone on September 19 as the Tigers host Troy in a game that kicks off at 11:45 a.m. CT. The matchup will be streamed live on SEC Network+, giving fans across the country a chance to witness the celebration of Memorial Stadium’s 100‑year legacy.

To commemorate the centennial, Mizzou Athletics will unveil a new collection of commemorative memorabilia and merchandise in the weeks leading up to the game. The items will highlight iconic moments from the stadium’s history and will be available through the official team store.

The Tigers hold a 3‑1 edge in the all‑time series against Troy and have taken the last two meetings, including a 42‑10 victory in Columbia back in 2019. That recent dominance adds extra intrigue to the anniversary contest, which will be highlighted with special recognitions that will be announced later this summer.

The 2026 schedule begins on September 3 when Missouri travels to face Arkansas‑Pine Bluff at 7 p.m. The season opener will be televised on the SEC Network, setting the tone for a year that includes a road test at Lawrence, Kansas, on September 11. That game against the Jayhawks is slated for a 7 p.m. kickoff and will receive a national broadcast on FOX.

All games will be carried on the Tiger Radio Network, where the familiar voices of Mike Kelly, Howard Richards and Chris Gervino will provide play‑by‑play commentary. Their presence ensures that fans listening from any corner of the state can follow the action in real time.
