Missouri and Kansas will renew their long-running "Border War" college football rivalry on Friday, 11 September, with kick-off at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium in Lawrence, Kansas. The fixture carries added significance after the rivalry was only recently revived, having lapsed for long stretches following Missouri's move from the Big 12 to the SEC in 2012, and it is being broadcast live nationally on Fox with various streaming options for viewers without cable.

Dating back to 1891, the rivalry has produced 121 meetings, with Missouri holding a narrow all-time lead of 57 wins to 55, plus nine ties. Missouri, ranked No. 23 and coming off a 54-14 win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff, are 5.5-point favourites against Kansas, who beat Long Island 51-6 in their opener; the Tigers have also won the last four meetings between the sides. Viewers without cable can watch via streaming services including Fubo, DirecTV, Hulu + Live TV and Sling, several of which offer free trials.
