Rivalry games will be aplenty this season for the Kentucky Wildcats.
The Kentucky Wildcats have officially confirmed their non-conference matchup with the North Carolina Tar Heels. That game will happen on December 2nd inside Rupp Arena as part of the 2025 SEC /ACC Challenge.
This means that Kentucky will face most of its biggest basketball rivals next season, including at Louisville, vs. Indiana, and obviously Tennessee and Florida twice in SEC play.
And of course, Kentucky has a massive exhibition game vs. potential preseason No. 1 Purdue, as well as a CBS Sports Classic showdown with Rick Pitino and a potential top-five St. John’s Red Storm squad.
With that in mind, here’s a snapshot of the 2025-26 Kentucky basketball schedule via UK Athletics.
