The Battle Line Rivalry is the name given to the Arkansas–Missouri football rivalry due to the state line between the two states dividing the North and South during the Civil War. It is an American college football rivalry game between the Arkansas Razorbacks and Missouri Tigers. The teams have met fifteen times, between November 1906 and November 2023. They have faced off twice in bowl games, first in the 2003 Independence Bowl and second in the 2008 Cotton Bowl Classic. The rivalry was formally introduced in 2014, and the Battle Line trophy was first awarded in 2015. Since its inception in 2014, the rivalry had been played during rivalry week, the final week of the regular season. In 2026, it was announced that the matchup would no longer be played during rivalry week, though it would remain a protected conference rivalry, now earlier in the year. In its place, Arkansas would be paired with longtime rival LSU, and Missouri would be paired with former Big 12 rival Oklahoma during rivalry week.
