Elon University’s men’s soccer program has unveiled its 2026 campaign, a slate that promises 17 contests and a chance to protect the CAA Tournament crown it captured last season.
The schedule features 10 home fixtures at the historic Rudd Field, beginning with a season‑opening showdown against VMI on August 20.
In addition to the regular slate, the Phoenix will test themselves against Queens, North Carolina State and Liberty in preseason exhibitions, using those games to fine‑tune tactics before conference play.
Division battle and championship aspirations
Competing in the South Division, Elon will face familiar rivals such as Campbell, Charleston, UNCW and William & Mary, with the top three teams from each division advancing to the CAA Championship.
All home matches will be streamed live on FloCollege, giving fans across the country a chance to follow the team’s push toward a sixth consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance.
With a blend of experienced seniors and promising newcomers, the squad aims to translate its early success into sustained excellence throughout the demanding schedule.
