The schedule includes 13 non-conference opponents, featuring battles with Kansas, Illinois, Minnesota, and Notre Dame for the SEC vs. ACC challenge. Dennis Gates and the Missouri Tigers will kick their season off in Washington, D.C., against Howard on November 3, followed by seven-straight home games.

Per tradition, the Tigers will take on Illinois at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, but will also face the Kansas Jayhawks at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City. Their matchup against Illinois is the last non-conference game before heading into SEC play.

As of now, there isn't much detailed information about Missouri's SEC portion of the schedule. That information should come out as the season comes closer, but for now, it's just a list of future opponents.

Here's a look at each opponent Missouri will face in the non-conference part of the season, along with the opponents they'll face in the SEC:
