The Egg Bowl (traditionally named the Battle for the Golden Egg) is an American college football rivalry game played annually between Southeastern Conference members Mississippi State University and Ole Miss (The University of Mississippi). The teams first played each other in 1901. Since 1927 the winning squad has been awarded possession of The Golden Egg trophy. The game has been played every year since 1944, making it the tenth longest uninterrupted series in the United States. Ole Miss leads the series 67–46–6 through the 2025 season. It is contested at the end of the regular season, during the Thanksgiving weekend. The Egg Bowl has been played on Thanksgiving 23 times, including from 1998 to 2003, in 2013, and from 2017 to 2023. The game now alternates between the two campuses. Contests in odd-numbered years are played in Starkville, at Mississippi State and even-numbered years in Oxford, at Ole Miss.
