Where the Game Lives On

Welcome to the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame

It’s the thrill of the game that has fans coming back for more. But it’s the love of the game that pushes athletes to get better. They get up before the sun rises to do football drills, they perfect their curveball pitch long after the sun goes down—and they never stop believing their dream can come true. It’s that dedication that has earned them a spot in the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame, and for some a spot on our Legends Walk of Fame.

The Missouri Sports Hall of Fame welcomes you to celebrate the careers of these sports role models and relive the greatest moments in Missouri sports history. Find your favorite player, coach or team on our site, or come to the museum where we have 4,000 items of sports memorabilia and hands-on exhibits. You can feel the speed as you race in the NASCAR simulator, hit your own home run in the batters box against a Major League Baseball pitcher or throw the winning touchdown pass in our football exhibit. Are you ready to play, the ball is in your court!

Today, this stage is

Today, this stage is more than lights, banners, and chairs.
Tomorrow, it becomes a place where legacies are honored, stories are preserved, and Missouri sports history comes alive.

Enshrinement weekends remind us why this mission matters — celebrating those who gave so much to their sport, their teams, and their communities, while bringing people together around pride, gratitude, and shared memories.

None of this happens without the unwavering support of our loyal sponsors and partners. Your belief in the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame fuels these moments, supports our athletes and families, and helps us continue serving children and veterans across our great state.

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for standing with us, year after year.
Tomorrow, we celebrate excellence. Together.
