UKFB announces HOF, Salute to Service, Homecoming & other promotions for 2025

Seven home games, seven days of promotions to look forward to at Kroger Field while cheering on your Wildcats this fall. Kentucky has announced its annual schedule with all of the fan favorites — highlighted by the Blue-White Game, Heroes Day, Salute to Service, Homecoming, Family Weekend, Halloween and Senior Day, among others.

It starts right away with Toledo in the season opener on August 30, the football program honoring Lexington’s 250th anniversary with $25 tickets for 250Lex Day. Plenty of seats remain available for that one, including a number of lower-level options. From there, half of the stadium will wear white and one side will wear blue against Ole Miss for the Blue-White Game. A week later, Karl-Anthony Towns, Josh Hines-Allen, Makayla Epps, Doug Flynn, Abbey Cheek-Ramsey and Sonia Hahn will be honored for UK Athletics Hall of Fame night at Kroger Field.

After some time off, the Wildcats will return home for Homecoming and Family Weekend against top-ranked Texas in what will also be a Keeneland Doubleheader. Tennessee will then be the BBN United game, celebrating the new official fan club of UK Athletics, along with some spooky fun as the last matchup before Halloween.

And then to wrap things up in November, the Salute to Service game featuring specially-priced tickets for members of military, law enforcement, fire, emergency medical services, and government employees will be against Florida before Senior Day puts a bow on the home schedule vs. Tennessee Tech.

Hopefully those promos include seven wins at Kroger Field.
