K-State, Missouri Set for Two-Year Exhibition Series

By Jayson Henderson

Kansas State and Missouri men’s basketball will renew their rivalry with a home-and-home exhibition series beginning this fall. The first game is set for Friday, Oct. 24, 2025, at Mizzou Arena and will be broadcast nationally at 9 p.m. CT.

The series continues in the 2026–27 season when K-State hosts Missouri in Manhattan. Ticket details for both games will be announced later.

The Wildcats and Tigers have met 237 times since 1907, with K-State leading the all-time series 121–116. Their last meeting came in 2018, when K-State earned an 82–67 win at the Paradise Jam.

The exhibition series marks the first matchup between the programs since Missouri joined the SEC. Last season, Missouri finished 22–11, including a 10–8 record in SEC play, and reached the NCAA Tournament before falling to Drake in the first round.
