Kentucky Football SEC Game Windows Set for 2025 Season
Planning your fall just got a little easier. ESPN just released the TV game windows for the 2025 SEC football season, giving us a better idea of when Kentucky will play. We already knew the times for the first three games of the season; today’s announcement includes two more game times and windows for all of the remaining games, save the Governor’s Cup, which will be up to the ACC since it’s at Louisville this year.
Mercifully, Kentucky’s trip to Georgia on Oct. 4 drew the noon slot on either ABC or ESPN. The game vs. Tennessee Tech at Kroger Field is also an earlier one, kicking off at 1:30 p.m. ET at Kroger Field. It’s the lone “computer game” of the bunch, streaming exclusively on SEC Network+ and ESPN+. At South Carolina (Sep. 27), at Auburn (Nov. 1), and vs. Florida (Nov. 8) are designated as “flex,” meaning they’ll take place in either the afternoon (3:30-4:30 p.m.) or night (6-8 p.m.) windows.
