How to watch Auburn vs. Missouri
Time: Saturday, October 19, noon ET; Channel: Fubo TV (streaming); TBD
Memorial Stadium in Columbia, Missouri is the location.
Before this weekend’s game, Auburn and Missouri have only faced off four times in history despite being in the same conference for more than ten years.
Auburn leads the series 3-1 all-time with Missouri’s only win coming back during the first meeting in 1973. That was a 34-17 Sun Bowl victory for the Tigers of Columbia.
The next three matchups were held under the Southeastern Conference banner. That first conference game just so happened to be in the SEC Championship game, in which Auburn was the victor and eventually went on to play in the 2013 BCS National Championship game that season.
Since 2017, they have participated in two regular-season games. Before the two teams’ most recent matchup in 2022, Auburn defeated Missouri 51-14 on the road to Columbia. After all of them, that was the closest match, with Auburn defeating Missouri 17-14.
In 2024, the roles might be reversed when Missouri enters the game as the clear favorite to defeat Auburn. Even though Auburn has had a sluggish start to the season, winning against Auburn would make a big statement for Missouri given the matchup’s history, which heavily favors Auburn.
Meanwhile, an upset win over Missouri on the road is exactly what Auburn needs to get their season back on the right track.
