2026 Schedules

[Kuiper]

After suffering through a blizzard recently, many places in the Northeast are forecast to have highs in the 60s and even 70s this coming week.  So, that means its time for the first DIII men's soccer schedules to pop up on websites across the country and it's time to start a 2026 Schedules thread!  For some reason, the first groups to post their schedules tend to be from the upper Midwest.  Maybe they are trying to wish the spring into existence?

North Central

North Central is coming off an odd year where they only had 2 losses all season,  but they had 8 ties and missed out on the NCAA tourney.  This fall, they replace Coe, Trine, Dominican, Monmouth, and Knox with Beloit, Nebraska Wesleyan, and a tricky mid-September trip to Michigan to play at Calvin, Kalamazoo, and Albion before returning home to host CCIW foe Illinois Wesleyan and Edgewood.  That seems like a decent upgrade and an especially difficult stretch of games right before and after they start conference play.

North Park

North Park had a down year by their lofty standards, but they still made it to the CCIW championship game before succumbing to IWU 1-0.  This year, they start the season with what may be a murderer's row of historically strong programs: @ Chicago, Wash. U., Milwaukee School of Engineering, Claremont-Mudd-Scripps and Pacific Lutheran (@ Wheaton), @ Kalamazoo, @ Trine before three straight home games against Wisconsin-Whitewater, Wheaton, and Wisconsin-Platteville.  Some of those teams had down years last season, but holy cow!  Those games should be fun to watch.
