Eastern Washington University has released its 2026 women's soccer schedule, a calendar that blends early‑season experiments with a rigorous conference slate.
A busy opening stretch
The campaign kicks off with an exhibition match against Washington State on August 6, followed just a week later by a home clash with Mount Royal University on August 12 in Cheney.
The first road trip takes the Eagles to Illinois, where they will meet the University of Illinois Chicago and Western Illinois in back‑to‑back contests.
August 30 sees a home fixture against Cal State Bakersfield, giving the team a chance to fine‑tune before the September stretch.
September’s non‑conference slate
September’s schedule features matchups against Wyoming, Grand Canyon and Air Force, each offering a different style of play and a chance to climb early rankings.
The regular season concludes its non‑conference portion with a home game against Oregon State on September 25, a rivalry that promises added intensity.
Conference battle begins
Big Sky Conference play begins with two consecutive home matches against Idaho State and Weber State, setting the tone for the league battle.
After a brief two‑week road swing that includes Northern Arizona and Northern Colorado, the Eagles will enjoy a pair of bye weeks before returning to face Southern Utah and Utah Tech on their own turf.
Late‑season road tests
The latter part of the schedule sees Eastern travel to Montana and Portland State, testing the squad against strong regional opponents.
The final conference match arrives at home against Idaho, after which the team heads to Missoula, Montana, to compete in the Big Sky Tournament, capping a season that highlights both local rivalries and broader non‑conference challenges.
