Game times and television assignments will be announced at a later date. The schedule is subject to change, including adjustments to series end dates.

Mizzou is coming off another impressive season in 2024. The Tigers finished fifth in the league regular season standings, then advanced to the SEC Tournament championship game against Florida.

Missouri earned a spot in the NCAA Tournament for the 17th consecutive year, where it hosted and won the Columbia Regional. The Tigers also hosted the Super-Regional, where it lost in the final game to Duke in an extra-inning thriller at the Mizzou Softball Stadium.

Overall, Mizzou won 48 games in 2024, the program’s highest total in the SEC era and fourth-most in program history.

Anderson most recently led the Tigers to a top-10 finish, an NCAA Super Regional appearance and the team’s second Southeastern Conference Tournament Championship appearance in three seasons.

The Tigers return six starters from the 2024 NCAA Super Regional team including SEC All-Defensive right fielder Kayley Lenger, NFCA All-Region first baseman Abby Hay, along with catcher Julia Crenshaw and third baseman Kara Daly.

In the circle, Mizzou returns starters Cierra Harrison and Marissa McCann, and will also bring back NCAA saves leader, Taylor Pannell.

The rest of Mizzou’s schedule will be announced at a later date.
