Fans will have the opportunity to see the Missouri Tigers men's and women's basketball teams ahead of the upcoming season at Tiger Tipoff, a new preseason event scheduled for October 10 at Mizzou Arena. The event will feature open practices for both programs, autograph sessions, and remarks from Whitten Family Men's Basketball Head Coach Dennis Gates and first-year women's basketball head coach Kellie Harper.
In addition to the team activities, attendees can enjoy music from a live DJ and various inflatables. The event is part of a weekend that also includes a football game between Missouri and Alabama at Memorial Stadium on Saturday morning.
Doors for Tiger Tipoff open at 5:30 p.m., with activities running from 6 to 7:45 p.m. The evening will conclude with an autograph session involving both teams.
Season tickets for the 2025-26 campaigns are available. The men's team will play against 18 opponents, including ten teams that participated in last season's NCAA Tournament—a school record. The women's program, led by Coach Harper in her inaugural year, will also host 18 schools as they begin a new chapter.
