Looks like it's that time of the year where I have to start keeping a tentative schedule until the official schedule is announced.

So in 2027 soccer will be two semester sport.  I'm sure there will be big crowds in February.

Starting in 2027 the season will be a fall/spring season.  Fall 2027, teams will be able to play up to 18 games.  Spring 2028, up to 10, with the tournament on the back end of that.

up to 18 games in the Fall and up to 10 in the Spring is moronic. I thought the reason for the Fall/Spring season was so teams didn’t have to play midweek games.  18-20 game regular season could be better accommodated over 2 semesters.

Here is an ESPN article about the change

 

they make the change for men's soccer.   But women's soccer stays the same???

It’s not like our later season home games are that well attended anyway

Yeah, it seems like if you're gonna do two semesters, you should stop like around Halloween. Split it up a little more evenly. I don't know, I guess we'll get used to it after a couple years.

...Teams will be allowed to play 18 matches from late August until the Saturday before Thanksgiving and up to 10 matches from mid-February until the start of the NCAA Tournament. Specific dates for the postseason will be determined later. ...

 

I guess I hadn't really thought too much about the actual schedule possibilities with 2 semester soccer.

 

looking at the 2027-28 calendar, 14-15 regular season games seem possible without midweek games in Fall 2027; 7-8 seem possible in the Spring with the NCAAT starting no later than the 2nd weekend in April to complete in early May

August: 2-3 Saturdays (3 if mid; 2 if late August)

September: 4 Saturdays

October: 5 Saturdays

November: 3 Saturdays (prior to Thanksgiving)

 

February: 3 Saturdays

March: 4 Saturdays

April: 1 Saturday

 

The article doesn't mention when the NCAAT would begin, but to complete by early May, it seems it would have to start in early April
