Get out your calendars, BBN, because we’ve got some VERY important Kentucky Football scheduling news to pass along. According to FBSchedules.com, Kentucky will host Eastern Illinois on September 30, 2028. So, if you have any plans for that Saturday six years from now, cancel them so you can see the Wildcats take on the Panthers, who play in the OVC in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS).
This will be the first-ever meeting between the two schools in football. Per the contract FBSchedules.com obtained from Eastern Illinois, Kentucky will pay the Panthers $650,000 for coming to Kroger Field.
