The Wildcats are receiving a beneficial shift in the schedule, albeit one we will not see for three years. There’s a new opponent on the 2025 Kentucky football schedule, Tennessee Tech.
The fine folks at FBSchedules.com obtained an old contract signed in 2018 by UK that will pay Tennessee Tech $600,000 to come to Kroger Field Nov. 15, 2025. This completes Kentucky’s 2025 non-conference schedule, joining Toledo, Eastern Michigan and Louisville. This will be the second time Kentucky has played program from the Ohio Valley Conference. Bear Bryant’s Cats defeated Tennessee Tech 72-13 in 1951.
