NJIT men's soccer has released its 2026 schedule, a 17‑match slate that blends non‑conference road trips with a heavy home presence at Lubetkin Field, where the Highlanders will host ten games throughout the season.
The campaign begins on August 20 with a home matchup against Siena in Newark, and the early stretch features three of the first four contests on familiar turf, including meetings with Manhattan on Aug. 27 and Loyola Maryland on Sept. 1.
Key Matchups
Siena enters the season as the 2025 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference champion, while the Highlanders will also test themselves against Rider, James Madison and Fairleigh Dickinson, the latter of which advanced to the 2025 NCAA Tournament.
America East play begins with a trip to Brown on Sept. 19, followed by the conference opener at Binghamton on Sept. 26, and continues with road tests at Vermont on Oct. 3 and New Hampshire on Oct. 10.
The final stretch of the regular season features two of the last three conference games on the road, a home showdown with Bryant on Oct. 30, and a series of matches against La Salle, UAlbany and UMass Lowell before the tournament.
Quarterfinal action of the 2026 America East Championship is slated for Nov. 7, culminating in the championship match on Nov. 15, rounding out a schedule that offers both competitive challenges and opportunities for growth.
