2026 Men's Soccer Schedule Unveiled
Columbia University announced Thursday that its men’s soccer program will contest a 15‑match regular season in 2026, beginning with a home clash against Army West Point on August 28.
The Lions will spread those fixtures across the calendar, with September offering a balanced mix of four home contests and four road trips, while the iconic Rocco B. Commisso Soccer Stadium will host three of the seven Ivy League matchups.
Ivy League play officially opens on September 26 against Brown, and the schedule highlights two marquee home games — Princeton on October 10 and Yale on October 24 — that are expected to draw large crowds.
Tournament and Broadcast Details
The Ivy League Men’s Soccer Tournament is slated for November 12 and 15, with the top four teams after the regular season earning a spot in the championship matches.
The winner of that tournament will secure the league’s automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament, adding extra stakes to the final stretch of the season.
All home and Ivy League fixtures are slated for live streaming on ESPN+, where fans can also access real‑time statistics and direct links through GoColumbiaLions.com.
The complete 2026 schedule, complete with kickoff times, is available online, giving supporters ample opportunity to plan their attendance and viewing parties.
