OREM, Utah — Utah Valley men's soccer head coach Michael Chesler has announced his team's 2026 non-conference schedule ahead of the Wolverines' inaugural season in The Big West and their first with Chesler at the helm.

Including exhibition games, Utah Valley will play four home games at UCCU Stadium and four road contests as part of the traditional non-conference portion of the schedule. The Wolverines will play three non-league games later in the season against Pac-12 opponents as part of The Big West and Pac-12's scheduling agreement. Season tickets will go on sale July 1.

UVU will open the season with a pair of friendlies on August 7 and 14. The Wolverines will host Snow College on the 7th, then travel to Colorado to face perennial College Cup contender Denver on the 14th.

The Wolverines will officially open the season with back-to-back home games against the Pacific Tigers and the Central Arkansas Bears on August 20 and 24. Utah Valley will then head to the Bay Area to take on the Santa Clara Broncos on August 30.

September kicks off with a visit from the Omaha Mavericks out of the Summit League on the 3rd. Utah Valley will then make its first-ever trip to West Virginia to take on the 2020 National Champion and 2024 National Runner-Up Marshall Thundering Herd on Sept. 10.

Utah Valley wraps up the traditional portion of non-conference play with a trip to St. George for the Old Hammer Rivalry at Utah Tech on Sept. 21. 

The Wolverines' first Big West conference schedule will be announced in the coming weeks.
