Missouri football releases 2020 game schedule

The Southeastern Conference teams have finalized their game schedules for the 2020 college football season, and that includes Missouri in what should be the team’s fifth season under head coach Barry Odom.

The Tigers begin the season with back-to-back home contests against Central Arkansas (Sept. 5) and Vanderbilt (Sept. 12). They will then hit the road to take on South Carolina (Sept. 19) before finishing up the month with a home game versus Eastern Michigan (Sept. 26).

Missouri then kicks off October (side note: it’s a bit upsetting that we won’t be calling it “Lock-tober” anymore) with a game at Tennessee (Oct. 3) and the team’s first-ever game at BYU (Oct. 10). The Tigers then return to Columbia for home tilts against SEC East rivals Georgia (Oct. 17) and Kentucky (Oct. 24) before getting a break on Halloween.

November will also see consecutive games on the road followed by consecutive games at home. Missouri visits Mississippi State for the first time (Nov. 7) before the team goes down to Gainesville to face Florida (Nov. 14). The Tigers then head home to take on Louisiana (Nov. 21), and they close out the regular season at home against Arkansas in the annual Battle Line rivalry matchup (Nov. 28).

Here’s the full slate of games:
