The university’s athletics department has officially released the 2026 men’s soccer schedule for the CUNYAC Bearcats, a program that has already captured eight conference titles and reached the 2025 semifinals.
Season Opener on the Road
The campaign begins with two early road tests, opening at William Paterson University on September 2 before traveling to The College at Old Westbury on September 4.
Following those initial matches, the Bearcats head to Maryland for the Seahawk Classic, where they will face St. Mary’s College of Maryland on September 12 and Salisbury University on September 13.
Early Home Stretch and Conference Play
After the tournament, the squad returns to New York for a home fixture against Yeshiva University on September 28, then journeys to Pennsylvania to meet Delaware Valley University on October 3.
Conference action kicks off with the Battle of Lexington against Hunter College on October 14, setting the stage for a series of matchups that will determine the regular‑season standings.
Tournament Run and Championship
The CUNYAC Tournament will see quarterfinals on October 28, semifinals on October 31, and culminate in the championship final on November 7 at York College in Jamaica, N.Y.
With a blend of non‑conference challenges and a tightly contested conference slate, the Bearcats are poised to defend their recent momentum and chase another title.
