Missouri’s Week 6 home date with Texas A&M is on the calendar, but the kickoff window and TV assignment are still up in the air.
The SEC said Monday that the Oct. 10 game at Faurot Field in Columbia will either start at 11 a.m. CT on ABC or 11:45 a.m.
CT on SEC Network. The league said the final call will come Saturday night after this weekend’s games.
That leaves the Tigers and Aggies waiting on a matchup that already has some recent history behind it. Texas A&M has won the last three meetings, taking last year’s game 38-17 in Columbia, rolling 41-10 in College Station in 2024 and winning 35-14 in Columbia in 2021.
Missouri’s last win in the series came in 2014, a 34-27 road victory in College Station. Texas A&M leads the all-time series 11-7.
Before that Week 6 decision is made, both teams have work to do this Saturday. No.
25 Missouri, 3-1 overall and 0-1 in the SEC, hosts No. 8 Florida at 2:30 p.m.
CT on ABC. Texas A&M, 2-2 overall and 0-2 in league play, visits Arkansas at 6 p.m.
CT on ESPN2.
There’s another Week 6 game still waiting on its own final kickoff slot, too: South Carolina and Florida. While Florida is in Columbia this weekend, South Carolina, 2-2 overall and 0-2 in the SEC, hosts No.
24 Kentucky on Saturday at 3:15 p.m. CT on SEC Network.
Missouri is coming off its first loss of the 2026 season, a 31-24 defeat at Mississippi State last Saturday in Starkville. Texas A&M has dropped two straight, falling to Kentucky and LSU.

Daeden Hopkins Is Becoming Missouris One Sure Defensive Difference-Maker
Daeden Hopkins keeps turning himself into the kind of edge rusher Missouri can build a defense around. The sophomore defensive end just picked up his second SEC defensive lineman of the week honor after a breakout showing against Mississippi State, where he finished with 3.5 sacks. Through four games, Hopkins already leads the Tigers in sacks with six, a sign that his impact is growing fast and that opposing offenses have to account for him on every snap.
For Missouri, that kind of presence changes the shape of a game plan. The Tigers have been waiting for a true difference-maker up front, and Hopkins is starting to look like the most reliable one they have. Around the program, there was also a lighter bit of news as Missouri athletics announced an NIL partnership with Friskies involving Truman the Tiger and a charitable donation program for shelter cats, a reminder that the off-field branding piece is humming too even as Hopkins keeps supplying the on-field headlines.

Missouris Top 25 Standing Is About To Face Its Biggest Test
Missouris spot at No. 25 in the AP Top 25 has come with a little extra scrutiny, the kind that follows a team sitting on the edge of the poll and drawing skepticism from outside the program. The Tigers have managed to hang around the rankings, but the conversation around them has turned as much toward perception as performance, with some wondering whether their presence is helping the broader SEC picture more than their own rsum.
Now comes the kind of game that can settle plenty of arguments. Florida arrives as the next heavyweight on Missouris schedule, and the Tigers standing figures to be on the line in a way that goes beyond one weeks ranking. A strong showing would give Missouri a real case to stay put, while anything less could make the rest of the season a much tougher climb in the eyes of the voters. [Read more 🡒]
