WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Keiser men's soccer unveiled its 2026 schedule on Friday, highlighted by 15 regular season matches, including eight home contests at Arrigo–Vecellio Field in West Palm Beach, Florida. The Seahawks will open their campaign on August 22, hosting Thomas University, before welcoming Xavier University of Louisiana for the first-ever meeting between the two programs a week later.
Keiser enters the 2026 season following a dominant 16-1-2 campaign in which the Seahawks captured both the Sun Conference Regular Season and Tournament Championships. The Seahawks clinched the tournament title in dramatic fashion, defeating St. Thomas, 2-1, in overtime. KU finished the year ranked No. 16 nationally and advanced to the NAIA National Tournament Second Round, falling in a tightly contested 2-1 match to Warner Pacific. The program continues to build on its national consistency, reaching the NAIA Opening Rounds in seven consecutive seasons while compiling a 16-12-6 record in Sun Conference Tournament play.
- The Seahawks open the season on August 22 against Thomas University, a familiar opponent with Keiser holding an 8-5-5 all-time advantage.
- On August 29, Keiser hosts Xavier University of Louisiana in the first meeting in program history.
- Early-season tests await in Georgia and Alabama as Keiser faces No. 11 Life University (Sept. 4) and Faulkner University (Sept. 6). The Seahawks will look to avenge a prior loss to Life and build on their lone draw against Faulkner.
- A return trip to Miami Gardens on September 16 pits Keiser against Florida Memorial, where the Seahawks owns a strong 12-4-3 all-time record.
- The home slate resumes on September 19 against Florida College, a program the Seahawks have dominated historically with a 6-0-0 mark.
- Sun Conference play begins on September 26 at St. Thomas in a tightly contested all-time series, where Keiser holds a narrow 20-19-3 edge. The matchup comes after last season's Sun Conference Championship meeting, where the Seahawks earned a 2-1 overtime victory.
- The Seahawks continues conference action on the road at New College of Florida (Sept. 30), where the Seahawks are a perfect 3-0 all-time.
- October opens with a home matchup against Florida National (Oct. 3), followed by a key conference stretch featuring Ave Maria, Southeastern, and SCAD—all at Arrigo–Vecellio Field.
- The October 7 contest against Ave Maria highlights one of Keiser's most dominant series, with the Seahawks leading 20-1-0.
- A marquee home clash on October 14 against Southeastern, another perennial conference contender, sees Keiser enter with an 18-7-5 all-time advantage.
- The Seahawks will also host SCAD (Oct. 17) before heading on the road for matchups at Warner (Oct. 21) and Webber International (Oct. 24), where Keiser owns a commanding 26-5-0 record against Webber.
- Keiser closes the regular season at home on October 28 against Florida Memorial, which will also serve as Senior Day.
- The Sun Conference Tournament begins November 4 and runs through November 11, with higher seeds hosting each round as Keiser looks to defend its conference tournament title.
- The NAIA National Tournament Opening Rounds are scheduled for November 19-21 at campus sites nationwide, with the Final Site set for November 30 through December 7.
