The Ontario University Athletics (OUA) has officially released the 2026 Men's Soccer schedule, and the Trent Excalibur are preparing to return to the pitch for what promises to be another exciting year. 

Following a record-breaking 2025 campaign, the Excalibur enter the 2026 season with confidence and momentum. Under the leadership of 2025 OUA East Division Coach of the Year Grant Purdy, Trent recorded the best season in program history with a 6-5-1 record and earned the program's first OUA playoff appearance since 2016. 

The Excalibur will open the campaign on Saturday, August 29, when they travel to face Ontario Tech University. Trent will make its home debut at Justin Chiu Stadium on Saturday, September 12, at 2:15 p.m. against the RMC Paladins. The Excalibur faced the Paladines twice last season, winning both matchups.

The team will celebrate its graduating student-athletes at their final home game on Saturday, October 9 at 7:15 p.m. against the Queen's Gaels. 

The team will compete through a full regular season schedule, with sights on the OUA postseason, which begins on October 21.
