We knew the kick-off time at Vanderbilt next week for Kentucky, and now, we know how you’ll be able to watch it — how everyone will be able to watch it, for that matter, now that Disney and Google have gotten their stuff together.

The kick time for Cats and Commodores has been locked in for 3:30 p.m. ET, but the TV designation was up in the air with three potential options: ABC, ESPN or ESPN2. Late last night, the SEC announced UK will push for bowl eligibility on ESPN, a chance to earn a sixth win and get back above .500.

Other games that weekend included Missouri at Oklahoma and Samford at Texas A&M at noon ET on ABC, Charlotte at Georgia at 12:45 p.m. ET on SEC Network, Eastern Illinois at Alabama and Mercer at Auburn at 2 p.m. ET on SECN+, Arkansas at Texas at 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC, Coastal Carolina at South Carolina at 4:15 p.m. ET on SEC Network, Tennessee at Florida at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC and Western Kentucky at LSU at 7:45 p.m. ET on SEC Network.

The latest updates, according to the SEC:

Not a bad way to potentially go bowling, eh? Time to pull off the upset on the big stage.

Only the Louisville game time remains

We have the kickoff time and TV designation for Kentucky at Vanderbilt next week at 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN, leaving just one final game to keep an eye on — and it’s the big one, Cats at Cards. That one remains TBD, announced this week.
