Jacksonville University’s men’s soccer program has released its 2026 ASUN Conference schedule, a compact slate of eight matches that blends home‑field advantage with road challenges. The campaign opens on September 5 when the Dolphins host North Florida at Southern Oak Stadium, setting the tone for a season that will see four games on campus and four away from home.
A packed slate ahead
The early stretch includes a September 12 visit to Queens University of Charlotte, followed by a September 19 home clash with Lipscomb that marks the 31st all‑time meeting between the two programs. A week later the team travels to Conway, Arkansas, to take on Central Arkansas, adding another layer of competition to the non‑conference portion of the calendar.
Conference play resumes on October 10 with a road test at Stetson University, then shifts back to Jacksonville for a October 17 rematch of last season’s ASUN Semifinal against Bellarmine University. The schedule also introduces a historic first‑ever encounter with the University of West Florida on October 24 in Pensacola, expanding the Dolphins’ regional footprint.
The regular season culminates on October 31 with a home game against Florida Gulf Coast University, providing a final opportunity for the team to finish strong. Head coach Tim Chastonay said the lineup reflects a deliberate effort to balance rivalry games with new challenges, ensuring the Dolphins remain competitive across the ASUN Conference.
