Arkansas soccer revealed its 2026 schedule on Thursday, outlining a season that mixes a heavy home non‑conference load with a tough road test at Loyola Maryland. The announcement sets the stage for a campaign that could build on the program’s recent SEC success.
Non‑conference and preseason outlook
The Razorbacks will play five of their six non‑conference matches on the familiar grass of Razorback Field, while the lone away fixture will take them to Baltimore for a showdown with Loyola Maryland on August 16. Before the regular season begins, Arkansas will tune up with two exhibitions, hosting Kansas City and traveling to Memphis, programs that each reached the later stages of their conference tournaments last year.
In SEC play the Hogs will host Texas, Georgia, Auburn, Missouri and Florida, and will journey to Alabama, LSU, Tennessee, Oklahoma and Kentucky. The slate reflects the conference’s depth and gives Arkansas a chance to defend its fifth regular‑season title and push beyond the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Coach Colby Hale and his staff have retained a core group of contributors from the previous campaign, providing continuity as the team looks to translate early‑season momentum into a deeper postseason run. The schedule, while demanding, offers ample opportunities for the Razorbacks to showcase their growth and ambition.
