Kansas State and Missouri, which renewed their football series last season for the first time in a decade, have a kickoff time and TV network for their game this year.

Tigers-Wildcats will start at 11 a.m. on Sept. 16 and will be televised on the SEC Network. The game is at Faurot Field in Columbia.

Kansas State won last year’s game 40-12. It marked the first time the teams had played since the Tigers departed the Big 12 for the SEC after the 2011 football season.

K-State announced three other kickoff times on Wednesday: The opening game against Southeast Missouri State in Manhattan begins at 6 p.m. on Sept. 2 and will be streamed on Big 12 Now/ESPN+.

The Sept. 9 home game against Troy will kick off at 11 a.m. and be broadcast by Fox Sports 1.

The Wildcats will play a Friday game: Oct. 6 at Oklahoma State. The 6:30 p.m. game will be televised by ESPN.

In the 14-team Big 12, the reigning league champion Wildcats will play league newcomers Central Florida and Houston and miss Oklahoma and West Virginia.

Kickoff times for other games will be announced at a later date.
