The University of Vermont women's soccer program has released its 2026 regular‑season schedule, outlining a 17‑game slate that blends home and road contests.
The Catamounts will play eight of those matches at Virtue Field, providing a substantial home‑field advantage as they look to build on recent successes.
The season opens with two straight victories at home, beginning with a showdown against Merrimack on August 12, followed by a contest with Sacred Heart on August 16, both scheduled for Virtue Field.
After the early home stretch, Vermont will embark on a series of road trips, traveling to Yale, Army and Stonehill throughout August before returning to Burlington for a September 3 matchup with Boston College.
Mid‑season action includes a September 6 game in Philadelphia against St. Joseph’s, a September 15 home fixture versus Adelphi, and a September 20 contest with UMBC, before a September 25 road game at UConn.
October brings additional challenges, highlighted by a rematch of the 2025 America East Championship against Maine on October 4, a home game versus UAlbany on October 22, and a final road appearance at New Hampshire on October 25.
The regular season will conclude on November 1 with a home matchup against Binghamton, setting the stage for the conference tournament.
Key matchups to watch
Among the most anticipated contests is the early‑season clash with Sacred Heart and the late‑season showdown with Maine, both of which promise competitive intensity and fan interest.
