Will Stein, you have more than two months to plan your fits to see the Kentucky football in 2026.

If you’ve listened or read Kentucky Sports Radio over the last three years, you’ve heard many complaints about the marketing of the Kentucky football program. One year, the official UK football account didn’t send a Tweet about the spring game. The program has asked fans to wear certain attire for big games, but they typically provided just a few days’ notice.

This year, Kentucky football is stepping into the 21st century. Will Stein isn’t just announcing one black out. The new head coach revealed a theme for every single game of his inaugural football season in Lexington.

Mark Pope, despite one respectable tournament finish and a historic collection of ranked wins with Kentucky, has yet to finish a season with single-digit losses. That's a specific metric, but it's one that the Big Blue Nation keeps a close eye on nonetheless. There's something painful about seeing the loss column tick into a two-number state that I'm certain Cats fans will understand.

Yet, with a strong roster and his feet firmly under him, Pope may have just caught the ultimate break with Kentucky's full SEC schedule that seems to have cleared the runway for his best finish yet. Check out the slate from Tristan Pharis on X:

We have all become accustomed to what a Kentucky team looks like, as we found the formula for success that Mark Stoops used over his 13 year run with the program. Kentucky has essentially flipped that in the opposite direction with head coach Will Stein. The 36-year-old offensive guru is going to try to win football games on the offense rather than on the defensive side.
