Mizzou football players beat the war drum to celebrate the win over Kansas on Sept. 6 at Memorial Stadium in Columbia. The Tigers and Jayhawks will face off in the 2026 edition of the Border War on Friday, Sept. 11 in Lawrence, Kansas.

The kickoff time and TV channel were revealed Friday for Mizzou football's much-anticipated matchup with rival Kansas. According to a post on X, the Border War contest is slated to begin at 7 p.m. and it will air on Fox Sports.

These details come after the announcement that the game was moved from Saturday (Sept. 12) to Friday (Sept. 11).

The Tigers and Jayhawks renewed their rivalry in 2025, facing off for the first time in 14 years. The two programs hadn't met since the Tigers joined the Southeastern Conference in 2011.

Missouri came away with the victory, winning 42-31 at home. That was an afternoon game that aired on ESPN2.

This time around, the Tigers will make the trip to Lawrence, Kansas for the first time in 21 years. Under the lights and in front of a national audience, they will look to defeat the Jayhawks for the second consecutive year.
