Do you know when spring officially starts in 2026? Go ahead and take a guess… If you guessed March 20, you’re correct.
Now would you like to go ahead and take a guess when Mizzou Football spring camp ends? Go ahead… and iff you guessed March 19, exactly one day before the beginning of spring, you’d be correct.
So at no point in the calendar year 2026 will Mizzou play one second of “Spring football” in spring proper. Thus is the way of Eli Drinkwitz, I guess.
On Monday, Mizzou Football officially announced
the calendar for spring football, which will kick off in glorious fashion with a presser from Eli Drinkwitz over the course of the next three weeks, we’ll have the pleasure of hearing from many of the new Missouri staff, including new coordinators Chip Lindsey and John Papuchis, as well as positional staff like Garrett Riley and Chop Harbin. We’ll also get to hear from some roster stalwarts such as a scintillating interview with, “veteran offensive and defensive player,” on Thursday, as well as “selected players,” on March 3, 6, 10, and 19. Can you feel the excitement? Or is the winter chill still freezing your bones?
Mizzou will not hold a spring game this season due to the ongoing construction at Memorial Stadium, soon to be Faurot Field at O’Reilly Automotive’s Memorial Stadium. Or at least that’s my best guess at this point.
