Missouri State's 2026 season

Missouri State plays 12 regular-season games in 2026, 6 at home at Plaster Sports Complex and 6 away, opening on Sep 5 and finishing on Nov 28. 8 of them are Conference USA games and 4 are not — which is the shape of a college season: a short non-conference run, most of it early, and then two months inside the conference. The longest run at home is 2 games, from Sep 12 to Sep 19; the longest run on the road is 2, from Sep 26 to Oct 8.

The non-conference games are against Texas A&M on Sep 5, Lindenwood on Sep 12, Marshall on Sep 19, SMU on Sep 26. Those opponents are not in the Conference USA, so they do not appear as rows on the conference grid — a cell naming one carries a dotted underline there to say so. They are part of this team's season all the same, which is why they are on the grid at all rather than left as blank weeks.

Kick-off times are shown in your own timezone rather than US Eastern time — detected automatically, and overridable in the “Times in” control above. A Saturday-evening game in the United States is the small hours of Sunday morning across Europe, and a game that crosses midnight carries a +1 so it cannot be mistaken for the same evening. 1 of these games have no confirmed kick-off time yet and show a “?” rather than a guess. To see how Missouri State's season compares with the rest of the conference — who has the harder stretch, and whose non-conference run is heaviest — the full Conference USA grid puts all 10 teams side by side.

Frequently asked questions

When does Missouri State play next?

Missouri State's next game is away at Texas A&M on Sep 5. The list below shows every remaining game, with kick-off times in your own timezone.

How many games does Missouri State play in 2026?

12 regular-season games: 6 at home at Plaster Sports Complex and 6 away, from Sep 5 to Nov 28. 8 are against Conference USA opponents and 4 are not. Conference championship games, bowls and the College Football Playoff are not included.

Who does Missouri State play outside the Conference USA in 2026?

4 games: Texas A&M on Sep 5, Lindenwood on Sep 12, Marshall on Sep 19, SMU on Sep 26. Those opponents are not in the Conference USA, so they have no row of their own on the conference grid — they are marked there with a dotted underline, and named in full on this page.

Why do some of Missouri State's games have no kick-off time?

Because the networks have not chosen it yet. 1 of 12 games have a date but no confirmed time; college football kick-offs are fixed a week or two ahead, and a game can still move to a different day. Those carry a "?" instead of a time, because a placeholder you could not tell from a real time would be worse than none.

What time do Missouri State's games start in my timezone?

Every confirmed kick-off on this page is converted to the timezone your browser reports, with a manual override in the "Times in" control. College football is published in US Eastern time, so a Saturday-evening game there starts in the small hours of Sunday across Europe, and those carry a +1 mark.
