Start time for Florida football's Week 11 showdown with Kentucky in Lexington was announced by the SEC on Sunday morning. Kickoff is set for 6:15 p.m. ET in what will be the final late game of the Gators' 2026 regular-season schedule.
The gridiron action will be broadcast on ESPN.
Florida enters the matchup with a 5-4 overall record and a 3-4 mark in conference play after its 23-7 loss to Oklahoma at home on Saturday. Kentucky, on the other hand, is 7-2 (5-2 SEC) heading into the 11th week of the college football slate, but is also coming off a defeat of their own — a 34-6 beatdown by Tennessee in Knoxville this past weekend.
The Gators hold a commanding lead in the all-time series, with a 55-22 record against the Wildcats dating back to 1917,
plus a 22-13 mark in Lexington. However, UK won the battle at Kroger Field last year, 38-7, and has prevailed in four of the last five meetings with UF.
