How to Watch: Mizzou Hosts Central Arkansas in Week 1

The Missouri Tigers are ready to kick off another season at Faurot Field. The team will hit the turf for the first time this season on Thursday, Aug. 28 at 6:30 p.m.

After concluding their season with a Music City Bowl win and securing back-to-back seasons with double-digit wins, the Tigers will be looking to keep the momentum going. Despite those accomplishments, Missouri found themselves unranked to start their 2025 campaign and will look to continue with their "something to prove" motto.

Missouri's Week 1 game will not only feature an opponent they have never faced off again, but it will be the game that decides who the Tigers' starting quarterback will be for the rest of the season. The quarterback battle between returner Sam Horn and Penn State transfer Beau Pribula was extended to Game 1 of the year so Drinkwitz could assess them against live opponents.
