The Tigers entered the 2026 campaign with a program-high preseason ranking of No. 7, ultimately finishing the season ranked No. 11 nationally. Their strongest season came in Lexington and at Neville Arena, as well as a victory over No. 2 Florida. Mizzou's highlight score of 197.55 was achieved in late February at the Mizzou Quad. The team earned several accolades, including SEC Specialist of the Year for Hannah Horton and WCGA Regular Season All-American honors for Addison Lawrence and Kimarra Echols. The 2027 schedule includes an early start with a Black & Gold meet on January 2, followed by a Big 10 matchup against Illinois on January 8. Later in the season, Mizzou will face Nebraska and Iowa. Notable opponents include Georgia, who returned as head coach Oleksii's former team, and Iowa, who will be without their star athlete due to an Achilles tear.",
