Utah Valley men’s soccer head coach Kyle Beckerman has announced his team’s 2025 schedule, including nine home games in the inaugural season at UCCU Stadium and a game at Real Salt Lake’s America First Field in Sandy.

In total, the team will play 15 regular season games, including a seven-game round robin WAC schedule and five true road games.

Utah Valley will officially open the UCCU Stadium era on August 21 against former WAC rival Cal State Bakersfield. The Wolverines have never lost a season opener or home opener in program history, and will look to extend that streak to 12 games against the Roadrunners.

Beckerman will take the Wolverines back to his old stomping grounds on August 24 to face the Gonzaga Bulldogs. The game will be part of a doubleheader with the Real Monarchs, who will host Minnesota United 2 that same day. This will be the second time Utah Valley has played a game at America First Field, following the team’s matchup with No. 23 Western Michigan in 2023.

The Wolverines will close out the three-game season-opening homestand with a visit from the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles on August 28. The team will then head to Nebraska to face the Omaha Mavericks out of the Summit League on August 31.

Utah Valley will face a trio of Big West opponents to start the September slate in Sac State, UC Davis, and UC San Diego. The Wolverines will host the Hornets and Aggies at UCCU Stadium on Sept. 4 and 10, then head to La Jolla to face the Tritons on Sept. 15.

Utah Valley closes out non-conference play at home on Sept. 20 as the Santa Clara Broncos make their first-ever trip to Orem. The Wolverines and Broncos last faced off in 2022 in Santa Clara, and have split the two previous meetings in the series.

UVU will enjoy a two-week break before opening WAC play at Grand Canyon on October 4. The Lopes remain an affiliate member of the WAC in men’s soccer after leaving the league in all other sports.

The Wolverines return home for the next three games, hosting Air Force on Oct. 9, San José State on Oct. 11, and California Baptist on Oct. 18. Utah Valley will then travel to UNLV on Oct. 23.

Defending WAC regular season champion San Diego State makes its first-ever trip to Orem for Senior Night on Oct. 27. Utah Valley will then close out the regular season on Halloween with the Old Hammer Rivalry in St. George against Utah Tech.

The 2025 WAC Tournament will be hosted by California Baptist in Riverside, Calif., for the second time in the last four seasons. The tournament will run from Nov. 9-15, with the top six teams qualifying.

SCHEDULE NOTES

Excluding the 2020 COVID season, the 2025 schedule is the first in program history to be composed completely of opponents that Utah Valley has faced before. Among the teams on the docket this season, FGCU, UCSD, and San Diego State are the opponents the Wolverines have faced the least at just one game apiece.

Including the game at America First Field in Sandy — which will count as a home game for RPI purposes — Utah Valley has 10 home games in 2025, the most in a single season in program history, surpassing the previous high of nine (2016, 2017, 2019, and 2024).
