Temple University has released the complete 2026 men's soccer schedule, confirming a 16‑game regular season that begins with a road test at Villanova on August 20.
Home‑field tradition returns
Seven of those contests will be played on the familiar turf of the Temple Sports Complex, giving the Owls a comfortable base as they navigate a demanding road stretch.
The early slate also includes a quick turnaround against Delaware on August 23 and a home clash with Saint Joseph's on August 27, before the team ventures into a diverse non‑conference lineup featuring St. Peter's, Navy, Columbia, Lafayette and Monmouth.
Conference battles loom
American Conference play officially opens on September 11 with a matchup against Tulsa, and the Owls will travel to face Florida Atlantic, South Florida and UAB later in the month. Home conference fixtures are scheduled against Missouri State, Charlotte, Memphis and a final showdown with FIU on November 1.
Overall, the schedule blends a strong home presence with a rigorous road regimen, positioning the program for a competitive finish to the season.
