The opening game of Missouri football against Miami-Ohio for the start of the 2025 season has been canceled, according to a report by the St. Louis Dispatch following an open records request. Instead, the Tigers will play against the Central Arkansas Bears at Faurot Field on August 30, 2025.
The Tigers and Bears have never played each other before, as Central Arkansas competes in the United Athletic Conference. The game was a buyout arranged by Missouri's previous athletic director, Desiree Reed-Francois. The decision allows the Tigers to start the season at home and have eight home games for the 2025 season.
