Indiana vs. Kentucky Basketball Game Rescheduled to November 20 at Lucas Oil Stadium
Indiana and Kentucky have rescheduled their 2026 men's basketball game at Lucas Oil Stadium. The game, originally set for December 27, will now take place on November 20, a Friday before Thanksgiving. The border rivalry matchup will be broadcast on CBS, with the tip-off time yet to be determined. Fans can secure tickets for the game through a link provided by IU. This game is part of a four-game series between Indiana and Kentucky, with future matchups scheduled in Lexington in 2027 and Bloomington in 2028.
The date change to November 20 ensures that the basketball game does not overlap with an IU football game scheduled for November 21 against Washington. However, fans who were planning to attend both games may face logistical challenges due to the new date. The decision to move the game was likely influenced by the Indianapolis Colts' home game scheduled for December 27. Indiana's nonconference opponents for the upcoming season currently include Kentucky and Syracuse.
