The Kentucky–Mississippi State football rivalry is an American college football rivalry game that is played annually between the Kentucky Wildcats football team of the University of Kentucky and the Mississippi State Bulldogs football team of Mississippi State University. Both universities have been members of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) since its founding in December 1932. When the SEC expanded to twelve teams and split into two divisions in 1992, Kentucky was placed in the SEC Eastern Division and Mississippi State in the SEC Western Division, and their football teams became annual cross-divisional rivals. Historically, the rivalry series began in 1914, predating the SEC's first football season in 1933 by nineteen years. The rivalry is one of the most evenly matched in the SEC, with Kentucky currently leading the all-time win-loss record 20–19.
