West Texas A&M's men's soccer program has officially released its 2026 season schedule, a slate of 18 matches that blends early‑season friendlies with a full conference campaign.
Season Structure
Nine of those contests will be played on the team's home turf at The Pitch, giving the Buffs a significant home‑field advantage as they look to build momentum early in the campaign.
The season opens with a home game against Adams State on August 27, marking the first of two preseason matches before the squad travels to face Texas A&M International to begin conference play on September 23.
Throughout the fall the Buffs will meet a variety of opponents, including Fort Lewis, Colorado Christian, Southern Nazarene, Fort Hays State, Newman, Northwest Nazarene, Saint Martin's and a rematch with Adams State, before turning their focus to the Lone Star Conference slate that features Texas A&M International, UT Tyler, Oklahoma Christian, UT Dallas, Dallas Baptist, Lubbock Christian, Midwestern State, Sul Ross State and St. Mary's.
Mid‑season Highlights
The Lone Star Conference tournament is scheduled for late October, with quarterfinals on October 31, semifinals on November 5 and the championship match on November 7, providing a concentrated finish to the regular season.
Fan‑Focused Events
In addition to the on‑field action, the program has announced a series of themed game days, including Home Opener Day, Maroon Madness, Buff Bash and Senior Day, each designed to boost campus spirit and community engagement.
Overall, the 2026 schedule promises a competitive mix of non‑conference and conference play, a strong home presence at The Pitch, and a calendar of events that aim to bring fans together throughout the season.
