5/18/2026 11:21:00 AM

OREM—Fresh off a fourth straight WAC regular season championship and an at-large berth to the NCAA Tournament, Utah Valley University head women's soccer coach Chris Lemay has announced a challenging 2026 non-conference schedule as the program prepares for its first season in The Big West Conference.

Utah Valley will play nine non-conference matches prior to beginning league play in The Big West Conference, including seven home contests at UCCU Stadium and a pair of neutral-site matches in Hawaii.

The home slate will feature matchups against Michigan (Aug. 13), Utah (Aug. 17), Utah State (Aug. 24), Kansas (Aug. 27), BYU (Aug. 31), San Diego State (Sept. 12), and Weber State (Sept. 18). Utah Valley will also face Washington State (Sept. 3) and New Mexico State (Sept. 6) in Hawaii.

"We have worked hard to create a non-conference schedule that will challenge our players and prepare them for conference competition," said Lemay. "We are also proud to continue to showcase our beautiful stadium against some of the nation's top programs at home. The players are really looking forward to the opportunity to play two great matches in the Aloha State. The only two non-conference matches that will not be played at home will be played in Hawaii and provide a cool experience for the team."

Utah Valley's first-ever Big West Conference schedule will be announced soon.

Season tickets for the 2026 season at UCCU Stadium will go on sale July 1 at GoUVU.com/Tickets.
