MOBILE, Ala. – Head Coach Chris Hennessey of South Alabama Soccer announced the program's 2026 schedule on Friday. The slate features 18 regular-season matches, 10 of which are at The Cage.

"Our 2026 fall schedule is designed to challenge us in every way," says Coach Hennessey. "We've intentionally built a demanding non-conference slate that will test our group early and prepare us for the grind of Sun Belt play. It's a great opportunity for our team to grow, compete at a high level, and give us the foundation we need to keep improving as the season progresses."

Before the regular season begins, the Jags will compete in two exhibitions – one against William Carey (8/5), the other against UAB (8/8) at The Cage.

Additionally, South Alabama will face four SEC opponents – the most since 2021. The Jags will compete against Mississippi State (8/12), Tennessee (8/16), Alabama (8/30) and Ole Miss (9/3).

The Sun Belt Championships will take place on Nov. 9-14 in Foley, Ala.

The Jaguars finished last season with a 10-4-4 mark, earning the #1 Seed in the Sun Belt Championship after going 6-1-3 in conference action.
