This season’s Kentucky Wildcats vs. Indiana Hoosiers game has been rescheduled to take place a month earlier than originally planned.
According to UK, the Wildcats’ clash with Indiana is now set for Friday, November 20. The venue remains Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, with CBS broadcasting nationally. While the exact tip-off time hasn’t been announced, the Friday slot strongly suggests a 7:00 PM or later start.
This matchup is the second in the current four-game series between the two programs. In their first meeting of the renewed rivalry last season, Kentucky beat Indiana 72–60 at Rupp Arena.
Following this year’s neutral-site contest in Indianapolis, the Wildcats will host Indiana at Rupp Arena during the 2027–28 season. The series’ currently scheduled finale will take place at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington in 2028–29.
Kentucky leads the all-time series between the two blue-blood programs, 32–25.
The rivalry was originally set to resume in October 2023 under former coaches John Calipari (Kentucky) and Mike Woodson (Indiana). Both schools now have new head coaches: Mark Pope, now in his third year at Kentucky, and Darian DeVries, entering his second season with the Hoosiers.
Both teams are also expected to field largely new rosters next season, making the November 20 showdown one of the most anticipated non-conference games of the early college basketball season.
