The men's soccer program has released its 2026 schedule. The Pumas will open the regular season on Thursday, August 20 at Yavapai College and close conference play Friday, October 23 at GateWay Community College.
The Pumas play their regular-season home opener Wednesday, September 2 against Eastern Arizona at 4:45pm, and begin ACCAC conference play Saturday, September 5 at Scottsdale. Preseason play opens at home Thursday, August 6 with a scrimmage against Benedictine Mesa, followed by the Annual Alumni Game on Saturday, August 8.
If the Pumas advance, the NJCAA Division II Region I semifinal is set for Thursday, October 29 and the final will be held on Tuesday, November 3, both at sites to be announced.
"We're bringing in 28 new student-athletes this year, so in a real way we're redefining who we are as Pumas Soccer," said head men's soccer coach Christian DeVries. "This is our Season of Significance. We will train the person, not just the player, and this schedule is built to test who we're becoming, not just what we can do on the field."
