Saint Joseph's University has unveiled its 2026 men's soccer schedule, a 17‑match campaign that blends home‑field advantage with a demanding road slate.
Head coach Tim Mulqueen said the schedule reflects the program's ambition to compete at the highest level within the Atlantic 10 and to showcase the talent on display at Sweeney Field, where nine of the games will be played.
The season opens on August 23 with a home contest against NJIT, setting the tone for a schedule that will see the team travel to familiar Philadelphia rivals and beyond.
Early road trips include visits to Temple and Mount St. Mary's in August, giving the squad a chance to test themselves against strong non‑conference opponents before the conference season begins.
September brings a pair of non‑conference home games against LIU and Iona, followed by the Atlantic 10 opener against George Mason on September 19, a match that will be pivotal for early conference standings.
The program will also host a Philadelphia rivalry showdown with La Salle on October 7, a game that traditionally draws a passionate crowd to Sweeney Field.
The regular season wraps up on October 31 with a road game at Fordham, concluding a busy schedule that tests depth and resilience.
Key Matchups to Watch
Fans can look forward to a season filled with high‑stakes contests, from the early test against NJIT to the late‑season clash with Fordham, each offering a chance for the Hawks to make a statement.
