The first piece of the 2026-27 Mizzou men’s basketball home schedule was unveiled on Friday as the Tigers are set to host Pittsburgh in the SEC/ACC Challenge.
The contest slated for Tuesday, December 1 at Mizzou Arena marks the second time the schools will face off in the SEC/ACC Challenge. The Tigers earned a 71-64 victory at Pitt in the inaugural challenge in 2023 behind 21 points and four assists from Sean East II.
Overall, the Tigers own an 8-5 record in conference challenge games, winning all six of their games inside Mizzou Arena.
The contest versus Pitt is the Tigers’ first announced home game of the 2026-27 season and their second game overall released as Mizzou is also set to face Nebraska in Kansas City on Dec. 12.
Mizzou is coming off back-to-back NCAA Tournament bids and double-digit SEC-win campaigns for the first time since joining the conference in 2012. The Tigers are also set to welcome the nation’s seventh-ranked freshman class and the country’s 14th-ranked transfer class to Columbia next season in addition to six returning players from the 2025-26 campaign.
