Mizzou cross country has released its schedule for the upcoming 2026 season, with the Tigers set to travel to three road meets, host the Gans Creek Classic and host the SEC Championships. 

That's nearly an opposite schedule from the 2025 season, as Missouri hosted three meets and hit the road for two — four when including the NCAA Midwest Regional and NCAA Championship. 

Missouri will begin its 2026 season Sept. 4 by traveling to Ames, Iowa, for the Iowa State Cyclone Opener. The Tigers will stay on the road for their second meet of the season, as they'll participate in the Billiken XC Invite on Sept. 18 in St. Louis. 

The Tigers will then return to Columbia to host the Gans Creek Classic on Sept. 25, marking their last regular-season home meet. 

Missouri will wrap up its regular season by competing in the Nuttycombe Invitational, hosted by Wisconsin, on Oct. 9 in Madison, Wisconsin. 

To begin the postseason, Missouri will host the SEC Championships on Oct. 30 in Columbia at Gans Creek Cross Country Course. On Nov. 13, the Tigers will return to Ames, Iowa, for the NCAA Midwest Regional.

Those who qualify will next compete at the NCAA Championships on Nov. 21 in Terre Haute, Indiana, hosted by Indiana State, marking the end of Missouri's season.
