A Milestone Season
The University of Central Arkansas women's soccer program has released its 2026 slate, a 19‑match campaign that blends regional non‑conference fixtures with the team's inaugural season in the United Athletic Conference.
The season opens on August 12 at home against Oral Roberts, setting the tone for a schedule that will see the Bears host nine non‑conference opponents, including Alabama State, UT Martin and Nevada, while traveling to face Arkansas State, Missouri State, Oklahoma State and Southeast Missouri State.
Conference play begins on September 24 when Central Arkansas visits Tarleton State, marking the first of three new United Athletic Conference rivals — Tarleton State, Little Rock Trojans and Abilene Christian Wildcats — that the Bears will encounter this year.
The schedule also includes matchups against Eastern Kentucky, West Georgia, Austin Peay and North Alabama, institutions transitioning from the ASUN to the UAC, before a three‑game home stretch in October against Austin Peay, North Alabama and Abilene Christian.
