Florida baseball opens up its penultimate series and final homestand of the 2026 regular-season schedule on Friday night against the Kentucky Wildcats at Condron Family Ballpark. If you are searching for how to follow the SEC action on TV or live stream, we have the details you need to know just below.
The Gators enter the weekend with a 32-17 overall record and a 13-11 mark in conference play, having taken two of three from the Oklahoma Sooners in Norman as well as their final midweek matchup of the spring against the UNF Ospreys; their last two victories have been of the mercy-rule variety. The Orange and Blue are ranked 20th in the Coaches Poll and 21st in D1Baseball’s rankings this week, while coming in 12th according to the RPI.
The Wildcats come into town with a 29-17 overall tally, but just an 11-13 record against SEC foes, but did take two of three from the Tennessee Volunteers in Lexington last weekend — including a 12-2 run-rule victory on Saturday. Kentucky sits outside of both of the aforementioned top-25 rankings but could make up some ground with a strong showing in Gainesville.
