Kabatiella zeae is the causative pathogen of corn eyespot disease, which is an important leaf disease that damages corn (Zea mays L.) worldwide. In this study, we provided an annotated draft of the assembled genome of the K. zeae field strain KZ1 through PacBio and Illumina sequencing. The assembled KZ1 genome size is 23,602,820 bp, and its GC content is 50.71%. The completeness of the assembled genome is 97.6% in this study. The assembly obtained in this study has 94 contigs and the length of N₅₀ is 720,243 bp. This study is the first report of the K. zeae genome, which contributes to further research on the genetic variation and pathogenic mechanism of this important fungal pathogen.
