(St George, UT - July 29, 2026) – Utah Tech Men's Soccer officially releases its full schedule for the 2026 season. UT will play 18 official matches, including ten home games at Greater Zion Stadium.
Before the 2026 season officially gets underway, Utah Tech will play two exhibition matches, both at Greater Zion Stadium.

Utah Tech's season opener will come on the road in California against Cal State Bakersfield on Thursday, Aug 20. This will be the fifth consecutive year these two programs will take the pitch against each other, with the all-time series knotted at two wins a side.
