The Missouri Tigers are 4-0 to start the 2025 season and at No. 20 are among 10 SEC teams ranked in the Top 25. And the Tigers will play their fifth straight home game at Faurot Field on Saturday in front of another sellout crowd.
Missouri announced Sunday that next week’s 7:30 pm ET game against the Minutemen will be played in front of a capacity crowd of 57,321. It is Homecoming weekend in Columbia and is the fifth game in a unique 6-game home stand.

Last Saturday’s sellout at Memorial Stadium against South Carolina extended Mizzou’s sellout streak to 16 games – 2 games shy of the program record set from 1974-78. The Tigers sold out all 7 games on their 2024 home schedule, marking the first time Missouri has accomplished a season sellout since 1979.
The 17 straight sellouts is remarkable in that UMass is 0-3 and coming off a dreadful 47-7 loss at Iowa.
Mizzou scored 11 fourth-quarter points Saturday to rally past South Carolina 29-20. Running back Ahmad Hardy rushed for 138 yards and a touchdown, and quarterback Beau Pribula passed for 171 yards and a TD. The Tigers finished with 285 yards rushing, and Mizzou’s defense held South Carolina to minus-9 rushing yards.
