The Missouri Tigers football program, representing the University of Missouri, has been a member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) since 2012, though its gridiron history stretches back to 1890. Playing at Faurot Field in Columbia, the Tigers have claimed 15 conference titles and appeared in 39 bowl games, including 11 major New Year's Six appearances (four Orange, four Cotton, two Sugar, and one Fiesta Bowl). A fascinating highlight is the 1960 team, which was officially recognized as national champions by a U.S. Senate resolution in 2026, alongside a 2007 claim from a major selector. Legendary coach Gary Pinkel (2001–2015) remains the winningest coach with a 118–73 record, while current coach Eliah Drinkwitz has revitalized the program with back-to-back 10-win seasons and top-25 finishes in 2023 and 2024. The Tigers also boast a fierce rivalry with Kansas, leading that series 58–54–9 through 2025.
