2026 schedule unveiled
UTSA soccer head coach Derek Pittman unveiled the 2026 season schedule, a demanding 18‑game lineup that blends a strong home presence with a rigorous road slate. The announcement marks the start of the Roadrunners’ fourth season in the American Conference and sets the stage for another competitive year.
The Roadrunners enter the campaign as defending American Conference champions, boasting a 66.7% win rate at home since 2020 and a program‑record tie for third place in the conference from the previous season. Their recent success includes two conference titles and two NCAA Tournament appearances in the past five years.
Season tickets for the 2026 campaign are available for $70, fees included, and come with exclusive benefits such as early access to games, priority seating and special fan activities designed to deepen engagement with the team.
Key matchups and road tests
The schedule opens with road tests against Texas State and TCU before a mix of home and away contests that feature programs such as Colorado College, St. Mary’s, Texas Southern, East Texas A&M, UIW, Santa Clara, East Carolina, Charlotte, Rice, South Florida, UAB, Tulsa, Temple, North Texas and Florida Atlantic. Each fixture promises a new challenge as the Roadrunners aim to extend their winning pedigree.
Conference championship and NCAA tournament
UTSA will host the American Conference Championship for the fourth consecutive season, reinforcing its role as a central venue for the league’s top teams. The NCAA Tournament is slated to begin on November 19, 2026, offering the Roadrunners another pathway to national exposure.
Coach Pittman’s contract was recently extended through 2030 after a strong 2025 season that culminated in a conference tournament victory and an NCAA appearance. The extended commitment reflects the administration’s confidence in sustaining the program’s upward trajectory.
