Washington State University’s women’s soccer program has unveiled its 2026 campaign, a 17‑match schedule that blends home‑field familiarity with a demanding road circuit. The Cougars will play eight of those contests at Lower Soccer Field in Pullman, a venue that has become synonymous with their season‑long push toward the inaugural Pac‑12 Women’s Soccer Tournament.
A Schedule Built for Success
The season opens on August 12 with a home matchup against Idaho, kicking off at 6 p.m. on Lower Soccer Field. A short stretch later, the team travels to the Midwest, facing South Dakota State on August 20 and North Dakota State on August 23 before returning to Pullman for a home game against UC Irvine on August 27.
Conference play begins on October 1 when the Cougars host Oregon State, setting the tone for a series of critical battles that include road trips to face Fresno State, Utah State, and Gonzaga, as well as a showdown with San Diego State on October 22 and a final regular‑season clash against Boise State on November 5.
The ultimate objective is clear: finish among the top four in the Pac‑12 standings to earn a berth in the inaugural tournament scheduled for November 11‑15. Achieving that will require consistent performances across both non‑conference and conference fixtures, and the Cougars are poised to meet the challenge.
