Syracuse University has released the full slate of matches for its 2026 men's soccer team, a schedule that promises a busy home stretch and a series of high‑profile opponents.
A packed home schedule
The calendar features eleven home fixtures, nine of which count toward the regular season, complemented by two early‑season exhibitions against Marist and Mercyhurst.
The first official home game of the regular season is set for August 23, when the Orange host New Hampshire before moving on to ACC play.
ACC road trip
ACC competition begins at home against Clemson on September 4, and the team will also travel to face Notre Dame, Wake Forest, Virginia Tech and Boston College during the conference campaign.
After the opening ACC match, Syracuse will welcome Pittsburgh, Louisville and Virginia to the J.S. Brown Athletic Complex, while also hosting a late‑season showdown with 2025 NCAA quarterfinalist Akron on October 10.
Overall, the schedule pits the Orange against six teams that advanced to the 2025 NCAA Tournament, underscoring the program’s ambitious non‑conference slate.
