Kentucky begins the 2026–27 men’s basketball season ranked No. 23 in the AP preseason poll, matching its position in the USA Today coaches poll. The AP ranking is the Wildcats’ 998th weekly appearance; staying ranked for the next two editions would make them the first program to reach 1,000 appearances. Kentucky faces a demanding schedule with multiple ranked opponents, and coach Mark Pope’s team enters the season with questions after a disappointing campaign and a roster commentators say must prove itself. The Wildcats opened exhibition play with a 69–49 win over Little Rock and are set to face No. 19 Texas Tech in their next exhibition.

Knicks set to defend NBA title against 76ers
