Good morning, Tigers. Fresh off the most successful season in program history, LSU Soccer has released its 2026 schedule, and the Tigers aren't easing in. LSU enters the year ranked No. 16 nationally after a 15-6-4 campaign.

The slate opens with a road test at Wake Forest on August 12 before the home opener against Northwestern State on August 16, followed by nine total home matches at LSU Soccer Stadium, with three of them set to be Friday night affairs. Non-conference highlights include visits from UCF, Florida Gulf Coast and Baylor, plus a western road trip to face Arizona State and Arizona. SEC play opens September 11 at home against Tennessee, with conference road trips to Oklahoma, Florida, Texas, Texas A&M and Missouri rounding out the schedule. The SEC Tournament is set for November 8-15 in Pensacola.
