DeLAND, Fla. — Fresh off a run to the ASUN Championship Semifinals, Stetson Men's Soccer has announced its 2026 ASUN Conference schedule.
The eight-match league slate begins Sept. 5 at Bellarmine and concludes Oct. 31 when the Hatters host Central Arkansas at the Athletic Training Center.
Stetson opens conference play on the road before returning to DeLand for back-to-back home contests against conference newcomer West Florida on Sept. 12 and the Queens Royals on Sept. 19. The Hatters then travel to North Florida on Sept. 26 for a rematch of one of the most memorable series of meetings in program history.
Last season, Stetson's 4-1 victory over the Ospreys in the regular-season finale secured a berth in the ASUN Championship. Just nine days later, the two teams battled through 110 scoreless minutes in the conference semifinals before North Florida advanced in a penalty shootout.
October begins with a trip to Nashville against Lipscomb before the Hatters return home to face the Jacksonville Dolphins on Oct. 10. Stetson closes the road portion of its conference schedule at FGCU on Oct. 24 before welcoming Central Arkansas to DeLand on Oct. 31.
The matchup with the Bears will be another notable rematch from last year's postseason run. Stetson erased an early deficit to defeat Central Arkansas 2-1 in the ASUN Quarterfinals behind goals from Zsombor Pall and Dominik Topolsky.
The 2026 ASUN Championship is scheduled for Nov. 7-14.
