Mizzou Basketball’s SEC Schedule Unveiled

While football season is on the horizon and forefront of minds of college sports fans, the Southeastern Conference has released the schedule for its upcoming 2026-27 basketball season, including slotted dates for each conference matchup. Tipoff times and specific midweek dates will be announced at a later date.

Missouri is fresh off back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances and one of the biggest offseasons in program history. Head coach Dennis Gates beefed up his nonconference schedule, adding Power Five matchups like Nebraska, Kansas, Marquette and Indiana.

Let’s take a look at Missouri’s conference slate.

Conference play begins Saturday, Jan. 2, with the Tigers set to tip-off the slate on the road against Arkansas.

Notes

Missouri will begin the season by playing the Razorbacks in Arkansas, picking up right where it left off the 2025-26 regular season, as the Tigers’ final regular-season contest was an 88-84 overtime loss to Arkansas. The upcoming conference season-opener will mark the first time Missouri opened its conference slate against Arkansas since joining the SEC in the 2012-13 season.

Missouri has five Saturday home games, the same amount it did in the 2025-26 season. For what its worth to students, two of these games, vs. Kentucky on Jan. 9 and vs. South Carolina on Jan. 16, will be on Winter Break, which officially starts Dec. 18 and ends Jan. 19.

Missouri’s “bye” slot comes a week later than it did in the 2025-26 season, with the Tigers set to have an open date on Feb. 9/10.

Missouri has two sets of consecutive home conference games, with the first against Texas A&M (Jan. 5/6) and Kentucky (Jan. 9), and the second against Alabama (Jan. 26/27) and Ole Miss (Jan. 30). In both sets of Missouri’s consecutive home conference games last season, Missouri lost the first and won the second game.
