2026-27 Kentucky basketball schedule
The Kentucky Wildcats are expected to play one of college basketball's most formidable schedules once again this season after Mark Pope's first two UK teams endured slates that ranked in the top five nationally. The preseason schedule will feature exhibition games in Rupp Arena against Little Rock (Oct. 16), Texas Tech (Oct. 23) and UCF (Oct. 28) before the regular season begins in November.
