The University of Wisconsin has released its 2026 men’s soccer schedule, confirming a 17‑game campaign that blends home and away fixtures across the country.
A packed schedule
The season opens with an exhibition match on August 8 against Drake, followed by the regular‑season opener on August 20 at St. Mary's (CA).
Four home games stand out: showdowns against Marquette, Indiana, UCLA and Michigan will bring familiar rivalries to Madison.
On the road, the Badgers will test themselves against defending national champion Washington and Western Michigan, among other opponents.
Coaching continuity and player returns
Head coach Neil Jones returns for his fourth year at the helm, while junior midfielder Matthew Zachemski and senior forward Markie Hrojevic are set to reprise their roles after strong performances last season.
All matches are open to the public at no cost, reinforcing the program’s commitment to community engagement and accessible sport.
