The Kentucky Wildcats take on their first SEC opponent of the year, and it’s a big one, the #6 Florida Gators. It’s a top-10 matchup to kick off the conference schedule, as Kentucky is ranked #10 in the AP Poll. The conference is deeper than ever, and these are two of the best teams in the conference, so it’s set to be a pretty epic showdown. It’s a game you won’t want to miss, so the question is, how do you watch it?

How can I watch the game?

Who: The Florida Gators
When: 11:00 am EST on Saturday, January 4th
Where: Rupp Arena, Lexington, KY
TV: ESPN

The game will be airing on the standard ESPN channel. If you have cable then you can simply go to your ESPN channel at game-time and catch the game. If you don’t have cable, you’ll need a subscription to something. Whether it’s YouTubeTV, Sling, or any of the other cable-cutting subscriptions. They will have it on the Watch ESPN app if you have that, and there could potentially be an ESPN+ feed if you only have a subscription to ESPN+. Here’s the link to the game.

ESPN would be a good addition as a Kentucky fan because the SEC Network is through the ESPN family, and almost all the Wildcats games will be on the ESPN network, whether that is ESPNU, ESPN2, SEC Network, or ESPN.

It’s a game you won’t want to miss as it will not only be what kicks off conference play, it’s a top-10 matchup, and Kentucky is looking for another huge win in these big games. They also look to do it in front of their own fans at Rupp Arena. Kentucky has faced a slew of top 40 NET ranking opponents in Duke, Gonzaga, Clemson, and Ohio State. While Florida has yet to face any. This will be their best opponent of the year.
