Kentucky Basketball Season Tickets: What You Need to Know About the 2025-26 Season
Attention Big Blue Nation! The Kentucky Men’s Basketball team just dropped some exciting news about the 2025-26 season, and you won’t want to miss out. Here’s the crucial info you need to know about ticket pricing, home schedule, and more.
Ticket Prices & K Fund Donations: What’s Changing
If you’re a returning season ticket holder, you might notice a slight increase in ticket prices and K Fund donations this year. Fear not, Wildcat fans, this increase is well worth it!
“There is no greater fanbase and no greater home court advantage than what Big Blue Nation provides in Rupp Arena.” – Mark Pope, Kentucky Men’s Basketball Coach
Here’s what you can expect:
- Most season ticket holders will see an average increase of 3%, approximately $4-$7 per ticket per game.
- For the first time, all sections in Rupp Arena will require a K Fund donation, starting at $50 to $100 per seat. But don’t worry, these donations will earn you K Fund priority points to use for road game tickets and seat upgrades.
Why the increase? The NCAA’s new revenue-sharing policy allows schools to distribute more money to student-athletes, driving up overall athletics budgets.
Rupp Arena’s Blockbuster Home Schedule
Kentucky’s 2025-26 home schedule is packed with high-profile matchups that will have Big Blue Nation on the edge of their seats. Here’s a sneak peek:
- Exhibition games against Purdue and Georgetown, plus an ACC/SEC Challenge showdown with North Carolina.
- A four-year series renewal with in-state rival Indiana.
- A tough SEC slate featuring key matchups and intra-conference rivalries.
“We cooked up a few really special matchups at home, and we’re going to need our fans to bring it every night.” – Mark Pope
Mitch Barnhart, UK Athletics Director, added, “We’re excited about the upcoming home schedule and the entire season to come. We can’t wait to welcome BBN back to Rupp Arena.”
