South Dakota State University’s soccer program has unveiled its full 2026 schedule, a nine‑game non‑conference slate that will test the team before it enters Summit League competition.
A packed non‑conference slate
The season opens on August 1 with a home scrimmage in Brookings, giving the Jackrabbits a chance to fine‑tune before heading to the Twin Cities for exhibition matches.
Head coach Brock Thompson says the early road trips to Kansas and Utah will provide valuable experience against diverse styles of play.
At home, the team will host Manitoba on August 13, followed by MSU Moorhead on August 16 and Washington State on August 20 at Fishback Soccer Park.
The Jackrabbits will also welcome Western Illinois on August 27, Colorado College on September 3 and Idaho on September 6, building momentum heading into conference play.
Summit League competition kicks off on September 24, and fans can secure their seats now through JackrabbitTickets.com.
