Kentucky and Gonzaga have agreed to end their basketball series after three seasons.

The two programs agreed to a six-year deal in 2022. The first game was played in Spokane in 2022, followed by Kentucky’s visit to Lexington. The past two games were played in Seattle and Nashville, respectively.

Gonzaga defeated the Wildcats 94-59 last season at Bridgestone Arena. In one of the most exciting games of the first year of the Mark Pope era, the Wildcats rallied for a 90-89 victory over the Bulldogs in Seattle in 2025.

Gonzaga won the first two games of the series, 88-72 in Spokane, followed by an 89-85 win in 2024 at Rupp Arena.
