No. 21 Kentucky-Louisville men's game postponed by COVID

UK Athletics





This week's men's basketball showdown between No. 21 Kentucky and archrival Louisville in Lexington has been postponed because of multiple positive COVID-19 tests within the Cardinals’ program.

From UK Athletics:

The Kentucky men's basketball team's game vs. Louisville scheduled for Wednesday in Rupp Arena has been postponed due to positive COVID-19 results within the UofL program.

UK Athletics is working to find a replacement game for either Wednesday or Thursday in Rupp Arena. Officials from Kentucky and Louisville will monitor opportunities in which the teams can reschedule the annual rivalry game.

The Kentucky-Louisville rivalry has been played every year since the 1982-83 season. UK leads the series 37-17.

The health and safety of Wildcat student-athletes, coaches and staff remains UK Athletics' No. 1 priority.

UK ticket holders will receive communication via email if additional changes are made to Kentucky's schedule throughout the season. Given the current unknowns related to postponed games getting rescheduled or canceled games getting replaced – UK Athletics appreciates the continued support, flexibility and understanding of its ticket holders. If circumstances change during the season and games are canceled and not rescheduled, UK Athletics will evaluate credit and refund options for the ticket portion of payment at the conclusion of the season. Single-game buyers who purchased tickets through Ticketmaster will receive a separate communication.
