You know what time it is, Big Blue Nation. This matchup needs no introduction. Cats vs. Cards, winner earns bragging rights for the year.

Kentucky pulled off the home win in 2024, and now, Louisville is hoping to return the favor at the KFC Yum! Center in 2025, the earliest the Battle of the Bluegrass has ever been played.
