For the first time in school history, University of Missouri men's basketball welcomes 10 teams to Columbia that made last season's NCAA Tournament as the Tigers released their non-conference schedule and Southeastern Conference opponents on Wednesday.
Overall, Mizzou is slated to play 19 of its 31 scheduled games against schools that advanced to the national tournament in 2025. Only one other time in their history have the Tigers played more than seven NCAA Tournament teams at home, welcoming nine tournament teams to Hearnes Center during the 1988-89 campaign.
The Tigers officially open the 2025-26 slate with a road game at Howard on Monday, November 3 – the team's earliest season opener in school history. The team's home opener is slated for Friday, November 7 against in-state foe Southeast Missouri – tipping off a seven-game homestand that also includes VMI (Nov. 9), Minnesota (Nov. 12), Prairie View A&M (Nov. 17), South Dakota (Nov. 20), South Carolina State (Nov. 25) and Cleveland State (Nov. 28).
Mizzou returns to the road on Tuesday, December 2 to face Notre Dame in the ACC/SEC Challenge. A pair of neutral-site rivalry games with the Border War in Kansas City against Kansas (Dec. 7) and Braggin' Rights in St. Louis against Illinois (Dec. 22) are sandwiched around two additional home contests versus Alabama State (Dec. 11) and Bethune-Cookman (Dec. 14).
The Tigers will then turn their attention toward SEC play in the New Year, battling in a conference that sent a record 14 teams to the NCAA Tournament in 2025.
Mizzou plays three schools both home and away in Arkansas, Mississippi State and Oklahoma – all teams that advanced to March Madness one year ago. The Tigers also host defending national champion Florida, Final Four participant Auburn and four additional schools that earned bids to the NCAA Tournament in Georgia, Tennessee, Texas and Vanderbilt.
Six foes the Tigers will only see on the road in 2025-26 include Alabama, Kentucky, LSU, Ole Miss, South Carolina and Texas A&M.
Mizzou aims to add another successful campaign under fourth-year Whitten Family Men's Basketball Head Coach Dennis Gates in 2025-26. Last season, the Tigers defeated three top-five schools in the same year for the first time since 1988-89, while earning their second bid in three years to the NCAA Tournament and finishing sixth in the SEC's historic campaign.
