St. Louis University and the University of Missouri will renew a rivalry that has been dormant for a quarter century, scheduling three meetings that begin on November 6, 2026 at Enterprise Center in St. Louis. The games will also be played during the 2027‑28 and 2028‑29 seasons, creating a multi‑year narrative for fans of both programs.
A Renewed Rivalry
The Billikens arrive after a historic season that produced 29 victories and a second‑round NCAA tournament appearance. Head coach Josh Schertz will return with nine of last year’s contributors, including three all‑conference players, giving the team continuity and experience.
Missouri, known as the Tigers, bring their own momentum, having secured back‑to‑back NCAA tournament berths and a recruiting class ranked among the nation’s best. Head coach Dennis Gates will look to blend that fresh talent with the program’s recent successes.
The series adds another marquee matchup to Mizzou’s schedule, which already features games against Kansas, Illinois, Nebraska, Marquette and Pittsburgh. The addition of SLU underscores a commitment to strengthening the non‑conference slate.
Tickets for the opening game on November 6 will go on sale later this summer, offering fans an early chance to secure seats for what promises to be a high‑energy contest in the heart of St. Louis.
