Men's Soccer Learns 2026 Region Schedule
The Eagles' ten region contests in 2026 feature four straight home games on the back half of the slate.
BENTONVILLE - The NWACC Men's Soccer program announces its NJCAA Region 2 schedule for its first-ever season in 2026.
Head coach Dean Johnson and his team will begin region play in September, following the yet to be released non-region slate.
NJCAA Region 2 is made up of eight programs in Oklahoma and Arkansas and is split into North and South regions. NWACC is one of four North teams and will play each division opponent twice, once at home and once away. The Eagles will also face each South school once in interdivisional play.
Divisional play kicks off and closes out the region schedule, while the crossover schedule takes place in between.
NWACC faces a tough schedule right out of the gate, meeting a pair of three-time region winners on the road in their first two matches.
The first region contest in NWACC history is Sept. 2 at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M. The three-time region champion (2011, 2015-16) Norsemen welcome NWACC to Miami, Okla. for the midweek matchup.
The Eagles then travels to Midwest City, Okla. to face the Rose State College Raiders Sept. 13. The Raiders were Region 2 champions in 2017, 2018 and the Spring 2021 season.
Northern Oklahoma College-Enid crosses state lines for NWACC's first region home match when the Eagles face the Jets Sept. 16.
A second straight home match begins the crossover portion of the schedule when Connors State College comes to town. The Eagles meet the Cowboys Sept. 20.
On Sept. 23, the Eagles hit the road again to face the Mountaineers of Eastern Oklahoma State College, which won its first region title in 2022.
NWACC hosts Murray State College Sept. 27 for the final game of September and the first in a four-game home stretch. The Aggies have won three consecutive Region 2 championships and also won the Mid-South District all three seasons.
The first in-state contest of the year and final interdivisional game takes place Oct. 4, when NWACC hosts UA-Rich Mountain. The Bucks were region champions in Fall 2021.
The Eagles close out their region slate with return games against fellow North Division schools. NWACC hosts Northeastern Oklahoma A&M Oct. 7 and Rose State Oct. 18, then finishes on the road against Northern Oklahoma Oct. 21.
The NJCAA Region 2 Tournament is scheduled for Oct. 29-Nov. 1. The region champion earns an automatic berth in the NJCAA National Championship Nov. 15-21. Locations for both tournaments are still to be announced.
Start times, home game venue and the remainder of the 2026 schedule will be announced at a later date. All updates and information will be available on NWACCEagles.com and @NWACCmsoc on Instagram.
