LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky football fans will have a chance to meet the Wildcats team and snag autographs during Meet the Team Day presented by Kroger on Saturday, Aug. 15 from 5-6 p.m. ET at Kroger Field, according to an announcement from UK Athletics.

The free, public event will feature Kentucky football players and coaches positioned in small groups throughout the ground level concourse of the stadium, available to sign autographs and interact with fans. Organizers cautioned that limited time availability means attendees will not be able to meet every player or coach, with some autograph lines expected to be longer than others.

To manage crowds, the event will operate under several guidelines: autographs are limited to one item per person, posed photos with players and coaches are not permitted, conversations should be kept brief to help lines move efficiently, and fans are asked to be respectful of event staff and follow all directions.

Fans should enter through Gate One, with free parking available in the Green Lot and surrounding lots at Kroger Field. The UK Team Shop will be open for merchandise purchases, and several Kentucky Athletics partners, including UK HealthCare, will have interactive displays on site. Free 2026 Kentucky Football schedule posters will be distributed while supplies last.

The event comes as the Wildcats prepare for the 2026 season under first-year head coach Will Stein. The team's home slate features matchups against Alabama, LSU, Vanderbilt and Florida, along with nonconference opponents Youngstown State, South Alabama and rival Louisville. The season opens September 5 at home.
