Big news for Big Blue soccer fans: The Kentucky women’s soccer team is getting some love from the networks. ESPN announced that two of the Wildcats’ 2025 matches will be nationally televised, giving fans a couple of opportunities to catch their favorite team on the big screen.
First up, the Wildcats will be featured on ESPNU when they host No. 18 Ohio State at The Bell on Sunday, September 7, at 1 p.m. ET. This non-conference showdown marks the first time these border rivals have faced off since the 2013 NCAA Tournament. The Cats hold a 5-0-1 all-time series lead against the Buckeyes and will look to repeat last season’s success of knocking off a ranked Big Ten foe after they defeated No. 9 UCLA in a 2-0 stunner.
Later in the season, the Cats will wrap up their regular season on the SEC Network with a road trip to take on Texas A&M. That match is scheduled for Sunday, October 26, at 5 p.m. ET. Kentucky will be gunning for its first-ever regular season win against the Aggies, who hold an 8-0-2 series advantage.
For those who can’t get enough, all 18 regular season matches will be available to stream live on SEC Network+, so you won’t miss a minute of the action.
The showdown with No. 18 Ohio State is just one of three contests on Kentucky’s schedule against preseason Top 25 teams. The Cats will also host No. 17 Vanderbilt and No. 21 South Carolina, both of which are set to come to Lexington this fall.
Before the season kicks off, the Wildcats have one more exhibition match against Xavier on Saturday, August 9, at 7:30 p.m. ET, at The Bell.
