The University of Florida Gators soccer program has secured a spot on ESPN’s broadcast slate for the 2026 season, confirming that three of its matches will be televised across the network’s platforms.
The first of those televised appearances is slated for August 13, when the Gators host a home contest that will open the campaign in front of a live audience.

Later in the month, the schedule shifts to the SEC Network+ for a series of home games, beginning on August 20 against Coastal Carolina, with kickoff set for 6:30 p.m.
All remaining home fixtures that do not appear on the ESPN family of networks will stream on SEC Network+, ensuring that fans have multiple avenues to follow the team throughout the year.
Under the guidance of Head Coach Nick Zimmerman, the squad is poised to blend experienced veterans with fresh talent, aiming to translate the increased visibility into on‑field success.
The upcoming season represents more than just a schedule; it marks a new chapter for the Gators, who hope the heightened exposure will attract greater support and investment for the program.
