Kentucky Softball season ticket holders from 2025 will get a 30-minute exclusive window to enter the fall festival at 5 p.m. ET before it opens to the general public at 5:30 p.m. ET, as has been the case in the past. This year’s event will once again include prizes, competitions, in-game promotions, face painters, BINGO and more.

Parking will be available in the John Cropp Stadium lots, and the purple and blue lots of Kroger Field with free shuttles to and from those lots to JCS before and after the event.

The game will begin at 7 p.m. ET and will be televised on the SEC Network+ and the ESPN app.
