Missouri Tigers Host UMass Minutemen for Homecoming Showdown

COLUMBIA, Missouri — The Missouri Tigers will face the UMass Minutemen in their final nonconference game of the 2025 season on Saturday, Sept. 27. The homecoming matchup kicks off at 6:30 p.m. CDT at Faurot Field.

The Tigers (4-0, 1-0 SEC) enter the game undefeated, having secured wins over rivals Kansas and South Carolina in recent weeks. UMass (0-3), under new head coach Joe Harasymiak, is still looking for its first victory after struggling in its early season games.

Missouri will take a break after this game, gearing up for a tough matchup against Alabama. Fans interested in viewing the game can tune in on ESPNU, with Courtney Lyle providing play-by-play commentary and UMass alum Rene Ingoglia as the analyst.

In addition to TV coverage, the game will be broadcasted on local radio stations 1580 AM and 105.1 FM, and available on satellite radio channels Sirius XM 161 and 191. Mike Kelly, known as the ‘Voice of the Tigers,’ will announce the game on Tiger Radio Network, joined by analyst Howard Richards and sideline reporter Chris Gervino.

The weather forecast predicts clear skies with temperatures starting at 84 degrees during the day and cooling to about 76 degrees for kickoff, dropping below 70 by the end of the game. Fans are encouraged to arrive early due to construction near Memorial Stadium and along Interstate 70.

Tickets for the game are sold out, but fans may find availability on secondary markets like StubHub. Tailgate parking lots open at 7 a.m., and the homecoming parade begins at 9 a.m., adding to the day’s excitement for Missouri supporters.
