2026 Men's Soccer NCAA III Tournament Bracket

The Calvin men's soccer team is headed back to the NCAA III Tournament. The Knights will compete in a four-team regional this weekend on the campus of the University of Chicago.

Calvin (15-2-2) will face Wisconsin-Eau Claire (10-3-7) in a first-round game Friday at 6:30 p.m. (CT). Host Chicago will face Webster in the opening first-round game at 4 p.m. (CT).

Friday's match will mark the first-ever meeting between Calvin and UW-Eau Claire in men's soccer.

Friday's advancing teams will meet in the regional final on Saturday at 6 p.m. (CT).

All three games will be played at the Chicago's Stagg Field.

Calvin advanced to the NCAA III Tournament by receiving an at-large bid to the NCAA III Tournament. Calvin captured the MIAA regular season title at 6-0-1 in league play but fell to Hope in the Tournament Final Saturday night 1-0.

Calvin is making its 12^th straight appearance in the NCAA III Tournament including its 13^th under current head coach Ryan Souders. Calvin has now made the NCAA III Tournament 17 out of the last 19 years with the Covid pandemic wiping out the 2020 NCAA III Tournament. The Knights are making their 23rd trip overall to the tournament and are 40-23-7 all-time in NCAA III Tournament play.

The Knights advanced to the national semifinals in 2015 and 2019 and to the NCAA III Finals in 2009, 2011, 2016 and 2018.
