Kickoff times and broadcast designations have been set for the first three weeks of Kentucky's 2025 season.

The Wildcats will open the season on Aug. 30 with a 12:45 p.m. ET kickoff against Toledo at Kroger Field. The game will air on the SEC Network.

Mark Stoops' team jumps into SEC action in Week 2 with a high-profile matchup against Ole Miss. Kickoff has been slated for 3:30 p.m. ET on Sept. 6 at Kroger Field with a national audience watching on ABC.

That game will be a rematch of UK's most memorable game from an otherwise disappointing 2024 season. The Cats shocked the No. 6 Rebels 20-17 in Oxford, a result that may have ultimately cost Ole Miss a chance to make the College Football Playoff.

Kentucky wraps up a three-game homestand to open the season on Sept. 13 against Eastern Michigan. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPNU.

The remainder of the schedule will be announced at a later date.

The previous version of this report listed Sept. 7 as the date of the UK-Ole Miss game. The correct date is Sept. 6.
