The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley announced Thursday that its men's soccer team will compete in a full 2026 schedule, the first under its new affiliation with the Ohio Valley Conference.
The campaign opens on August 15 with an away match against West Florida, followed by the first home appearance on August 23 against Stetson.
Conference play kicks off on September 26 when the Vaqueros host Lindenwood, a game that will set the tone for the league battle.
The final home fixture arrives on October 24 against Western Illinois, providing a last chance for fans to cheer on the team on familiar turf.
The season wraps up on November 1 with a road contest at Houston Christian, concluding a debut year that blends non‑conference road trips with a compact home slate.

Program leadership highlighted the schedule as a balanced mix of challenges and opportunities, noting that each matchup is designed to test the squad while fostering growth.
Tickets will be available through the university's athletics portal, and further information can be found on the official website.
