South Carolina Women's Soccer has unveiled its 2026 campaign, marking the start of a highly anticipated season with a home opener against Oregon State on August 12, 2026.
Head coach Shelley Smith and associate head coach Jamie Smith will return for their 26th year at the helm, providing continuity and stability as the program looks to build on recent successes.
The Gamecocks will host nine home contests, highlighted by the annual Palmetto Series showdown with in‑state rival Clemson, while also welcoming Wyoming and Colorado State to Columbia for the first time in program history.
Conference play begins on September 10 with a matchup against Florida, and the regular season will conclude on October 23 against Georgia, setting the stage for the upcoming SEC Championships.
The SEC Championships are scheduled for November 8‑15 in Pensacola, Florida, where the Gamecocks will compete for a coveted title and finish the year on a high note.
