Marquette University has unveiled its 2026 men’s soccer schedule, promising a rigorous slate that features eleven home contests at Valley Fields and a mix of non‑conference challenges before the BIG EAST season reaches its peak.
A packed non‑conference slate
The campaign opens with two exhibition matches against Purdue Fort Wayne and Parkside, then takes the team on the road to face Northern Illinois and Wisconsin before returning to Milwaukee for a series of home fixtures that set the tone for the year.
September’s calendar includes a three‑game homestand against Northwestern, St. Thomas and Southern Indiana, followed by a BIG EAST opener against Georgetown on September 18 and a crosstown rivalry game with Milwaukee on September 22.
Conference battles loom in September and October
The team will host Creighton on September 26 before a string of BIG EAST contests that bring Butler and UConn to Valley Fields in October, rounding out a five‑match conference stretch that tests the squad’s depth.
November brings the season’s climax
The regular season concludes with a home game against Akron on November 6, after which the BIG EAST Championship begins with semifinals on November 12 and the title match on November 15. Head coach David Korn, now in his third year, will guide the squad through the postseason.
