Game times and TV assignments will also be announced at a later date.
The SEC office and the SEC Network will select one series per week to flex to Saturday/Sunday/Monday for television purposes, and the league will release those selected series at a later date, as well.
The Cats are competing in several exhibition games against both conference and non-conference opponents this fall, including matchups against Ohio State, Eastern Kentucky and Tennessee. That schedule is available here. These games have no bearing on Kentucky's spring schedule or their final record.
