What channel is Florida vs. Kentucky on today? Time, TV schedule for Gators' matchup

Florida football will look to remain undefeated in SEC play as it travels north to face off against Kentucky on Saturday at Kroger Field in Lexington, Kentucky.

The Gators made their 2023 debut in the US LBM Coaches Poll this week, sliding in at No. 23 following their 22-7 Week 3 victory against Charlotte. In the win, quarterback Graham Mertz completed 20 of 23 passes for 259 yards and a touchdown, with 104 of those yards going to wide receiver Ricky Pearsall. Pearsall made one of the most spectacular catches of the season about midway through the first quarter, when he jumped and hauled in a high throw from Mertz with one hand for a 25-yard catch as a Charlotte safety barreled down on him.

Kentucky comes into the game unranked, but stands as one of just three undefeated teams in the SEC. Vanderbilt transfer Ray Davis has helped carry the Wildcats' offense with 314 rushing yards and five touchdowns while averaging 6.3 yards per carry. He also has two receiving touchdowns. Defensive back Maxwell Hairston has three interceptions, tying him for first among all FBS players.

After winning 31 consecutive games against Kentucky from 1987-2017, the Gators have lost three of their past five matchups against the Wildcats.
