The Florida International University men's soccer program has released its 2026 schedule, a 16‑match lineup that blends early‑season road tests with a strong home presence at Leyva Family Field.
Eight of those contests will be played on the home turf of Leyva Family Field, giving fans ample opportunity to support the Panthers in Miami.
The season kicks off with a two‑match road trip to Nebraska, where FIU will meet Creighton and Omaha before returning to Florida.
Among the highlights are games against four teams that qualified for the 2025 NCAA Tournament, including a clash with NC State, the 2025 national runner‑up, and a meeting with St. John's in Queens, New York.
Preseason exhibitions are also on the calendar, with matches against Barry, Lynn and Miami Dade College scheduled for August at Leyva Family Field, all of which are free and open to the public.
Key matchups and conference play
The regular season then unfolds with a series of conference battles, beginning with a home game against NC State, followed by contests against St. Thomas (Fla.), St. John's, Missouri State, Memphis, FGCU, South Florida, North Florida, UAB, Charlotte, Florida Atlantic, Tulsa and a final showdown at Temple in Philadelphia.
All home matches will be streamed live on ESPN+, with broadcast information to be announced in the coming weeks.
