Mizzou, Illinois series cut to six matchups
- Josh Whitman, the athletic director for Illinois, revealed on Thursday that the Missouri-Illinois football series will be reduced from eight games to six starting in 2027.
- The decision follows cancellations of the 2026 and 2032 games, which frees Missouri to add another Southeastern Conference game to its schedule.
- Missouri and Illinois originally planned two four-game home-and-home series from 2026-29 and 2032-35, with locations possibly including neutral sites like St. Louis.
- Josh Whitman said the renewed series will maintain a home-and-home format, and the rivalry's next game is now set for 2027 after a 17-year gap since their last meeting in 2010.
- The trimmed series and scheduling shifts suggest Missouri aims to maximize home games and adjust for possible SEC schedule changes while preserving the rivalry in future seasons.
