Mizzou women’s soccer announced its schedule for the 2026 fall season Thursday afternoon.

The 17-game slate begins with six nonconference matchups before jumping into Southeastern Conference play for the remaining 11 games.

Mizzou will begin the season Aug. 5 by hitting the road to play in-state opponent Lindenwood for an exhibition. The teams previously met in a 2024 exhibition match that Missouri won 2-0 but have never played in the regular season or postseason.

Stefanie Golan’s Tigers will stay on the road for the next two games, playing Western Kentucky on Aug. 13 and Murray State on Aug. 16. Mizzou has never played Western Kentucky, but it played Murray State in a spring contest April 4 and hosted the Racers in 2019.

Mizzou’s first home match of the season will be against Saint Louis on Aug. 20, followed by a road match against another in-state opponent, Missouri State, on Aug. 23.

The Tigers’ final two games of nonconference play will be home matches against Northern Illinois on Aug. 27 and against Southeast Missouri on Sept. 4.

The Tigers, who finished 15th in the SEC in 2025, will begin their conference slate on the road against Oklahoma on Sept. 11. That contest is followed by two home games, one against Kentucky on Sept. 18 and one against Auburn on Sept. 24. Last season, Missouri did not play Oklahoma, lost 1-0 to Kentucky and tied 1-1 with Auburn.

After the Auburn contest, Mizzou will travel to play South Carolina on Sept. 27 and Arkansas on Oct. 2. Arkansas finished at the top of the SEC in the 2025 regular season and will be a tough beat in 2026.

Immediately after playing Arkansas, Mizzou will have to play Vanderbilt, the defending SEC Tournament champion. The Tigers host the Commodores on Oct. 9.

Mizzou will again hit the road to play Ole Miss on Oct. 15 and Georgia on Oct. 18. Neither was on the Tigers’ 2025 schedule.

Mizzou’s regular season ends with a two-game home stretch against Texas A&M on Oct. 23 and LSU, the runner-up in the 2025 SEC Tournament, on Nov. 1.
