SEC Network

The SEC Network will transform the way fans follow the best conference in America. Set to distribute more than 1,000 live events and more programming showcasing our league in its first year alone, the SEC Network will be must-see-TV for Kentucky fans.

Thanks to the passion and support Big Blue Nation and fans throughout the league, the new network will be available in more than 90 million American households when it launches on Aug. 14. Every major provider in the state of Kentucky has signed on to carry the SEC Network, including Time Warner, DISH Network, DirecTV and AT&T U-verse. If you aren’t sure whether your cable or satellite provider is on board or are looking for more information on where to watch, check the Where to Watch section.

Wildcat teams will be featured extensively on the SEC Network from launch day forward, with UK men’s basketball set to play the first live game on the channel as part of its Big Blue Bahamas tour on Aug. 15. Additionally, two football games — including the Wildcats’ season opener — six volleyball games and two women’s soccer games featuring UK have already been selected to air on the SEC Network, with many more to come when winter and spring schedules are announced.

Those games only capture a portion of the SEC Network’s impact, as the network’s digital platform will exclusively carry approximately 550 league games this season alone on SEC Network+, WatchESPN and the WatchESPN app. For more details on games that will air on the SEC Network and SEC Network+, check the Broadcast tiers section.

Thanks to the support of fans and the preparation of ESPN, the SEC and the SEC’s member institutions, the SEC Network is set to be among the most successful launches in the history of paid television. It’s going to take more work to make it everything we know it can be, but the SEC Network is an important part of the SEC’s bright future. We hope you enjoy watching!
