Kentucky’s Nov. 14 matchup with Florida is already off the market.
The University of Kentucky announced Friday that the game against the Gators at Kroger Field is sold out, even though there are still more than two weeks to go before Florida arrives in Lexington. It’s the fourth Kentucky football game to sell out this fall.
Fans who still want a shot at getting in can look to verified resale tickets through the Ticketmaster official UK resale marketplace at UKAthletics.com/fb26. Tickets are still available for the season finale, the Governor’s Cup showdown with Louisville.
The Florida game will also be a black out, with fans asked to wear black for Salute to Veterans and “Night Ops.” The school has not officially announced a game time, but it will land in the night window between 6-8 PM.
Kentucky has handled Florida well in recent meetings, winning three of the last four and five of the last eight. The game will also bring several familiar faces back to Lexington, including former Wildcat linebacker and assistant coach Jon Sumrall, along with former assistants and players such as defensive coordinator Brad White and safety Cam Dooley.
More sold-out crowds figure to be part of the picture in the Will Stein era. New season-ticket deposits are now being accepted, giving fans priority for available seats next season, with another loaded SEC schedule ahead.
The last time Kroger Field was packed, Kentucky came back from a 10-0 hole and beat Vanderbilt 34-17 on Saturday.

Kentuckys Roster Is Earning Serious SEC Respect Before Opening Night
The preseason chatter around Kentucky is already turning into something more concrete, with the SECs coaches giving the Wildcats a pair of early honors before the season even tips. Milan Momcilovic landed on the second team, while Malachi Moreno was named to the third team, a sign that Kentuckys roster is drawing real respect across the league instead of just buzz inside Lexington.
Momcilovic arrives from Iowa State with the kind of shooting pedigree that can change the shape of an offense, after leading the country in total 3-pointers made and 3-point percentage last season. Moreno, meanwhile, is back for his second year at Kentucky after making the All-SEC Freshman Team a year ago, giving the Wildcats a mix of proven perimeter firepower and a returning young piece that opposing coaches already know well.

Kentucky's SEC Title Chase Has One Threat Fans Can't Ignore
The SEC race has tightened into a familiar kind of November stress, with Kentucky and Georgia sitting atop the league standings with one conference loss apiece. For Wildcats fans, the math is simple enough to follow and hard enough to ignore: every remaining weekend carries weight, and the path to the league title is now shaped as much by what happens elsewhere as by what Kentucky does on the field.
Alabama is the complication Kentucky cannot dismiss, especially because the head-to-head tiebreaker already tilts in the Crimson Tides favor. That kind of edge can loom large in a crowded standings chase, even as Kentucky football continues to work at building its own momentum off the field, with modest gains in average home attendance and season ticket sales alongside ongoing stadium upgrades. It is a reminder that in Lexington, footballs progress still gets measured against the sport that usually sets the standard. [Read more 🡒]
Kentucky Just Got A Big Reason To Worry About Tennessee's Offense
Kentucky is using its bye week to patch up an injury list that already includes several important pieces, and the Wildcats may need the extra time after another setback around the backfield. Starting running back CJ Baxter remains in uncertain shape after his injury, leaving Kentucky with some real questions to sort through before it gets back to game action.
Across the field, Tennessee got a scare when DeSean Bishop went down with a right ankle injury, but coach Josh Heupel said the running back is expected to be in good condition for the upcoming game. That matters for Kentucky because Bishop has become one of the Volunteers most important offensive threats, ranking second nationally in rushing yards and giving Tennessee a backfield weapon the Wildcats will have to account for if hes ready to go.
