MANHATTAN, Kan. – The Big 12 Conference and ESPN announced on Monday that Kansas State’s Big 12 opener next Saturday, September 26, will kick off at 6 p.m. (CT)/7 p.m. (ET), and be televised by ESPN2.
This will be the eighth all-time meeting between the Wildcats and Bearcats with UC holding a 4-3 advantage. K-State won the last meeting – their first as Big 12 foes – in 2024, a 41-15 victory in Manhattan. This will be K-State’s first trip to Cincinnati since 1995, when the Wildcats earned a 23-21 victory by scoring a touchdown on the final play of the game.
Kansas State’s trip to Cincinnati represents the 22nd time in the 31-year history of the Big 12 – including the seventh time in the last nine years – K-State will begin conference play with a true road game.
Prior to the game at Cincinnati, Kansas State hosts Tulane this Saturday inside Bill Snyder Family Stadium in an 11 a.m., contest that will be shown on ESPN2. Tickets to the Harley Day matchup are limited, as fewer than 75 premium tickets remain in the newly renovated Section 29 and the climate-controlled Performance Table, located in the West Stadium Center. Non-premium tickets are down to just Standing Room Only. Fans can purchase by visiting www.kstatesports.com/tickets or by calling 1-800-221-CATS.
