How to watch Missouri football vs. Murray State: TV channel, streaming info, kickoff time
It’s been 244 days since the game clock hit triple-zeros and Missouri football was crowned Cotton Bowl champion.
But Mizzou football is back Thursday evening, as coach Eli Drinkwitz’s team gets set to open the 2024 season with a game against FCS outfit Murray State on Faurot Field.
The team has announced that tickets for the game at Memorial Stadium in Columbia have sold out, marking a sixth straight sellout at Mizzou’s home stadium, which is the Tigers’ longest streak since at least 1980.
On Thursday, Missouri begins a season that carries better odds than perhaps ever before of reaching the College Football Playoff, which is expanding to 12 teams for the first time.
Here is everything you need to know to watch Mizzou open its 2024 season against the Racers, including TV channel, kickoff time and streaming options:
