ATHENS, Ga. – Highlighted by early home matches against two of the nation’s premier programs, the University of Georgia soccer team announced its 2025 season schedule Tuesday afternoon.
 
Led by fourth-year head coach Keidane McAlpine, the Bulldogs will face opponents from three Power Four conferences, as well as the SEC regular season (Mississippi State) and tournament (Texas) champions.
 
The slate begins with home exhibition matches against Samford (Aug. 4) and Carolina Ascent FC of the USL W League (Aug. 9). The regular season begins on Aug. 14 with a home matchup against defending Big Ten Tournament champion UCLA, the first-ever visit to Athens from the Bruins. Following a match against Albany on Aug. 17, Georgia hosts defending national champion North Carolina on Aug. 21 for the first time, marking the fourth-consecutive season in which the Bulldogs have faced the reigning NCAA champions. The non-conference slate also features home contests with Michigan (Aug. 24), North Florida (Aug. 28), and Wyoming (Sept. 4), along with road dates at Washington State (Aug. 31) and Clemson (Sept. 7).
 

Georgia opens SEC play at Texas A&M on Friday, Sept. 12, resuming the teams’ regular season series following two consecutive nailbiters in the SEC Tournament. The Bulldogs begin home conference play against Kentucky on Sept. 18, followed by visits from Florida (Sept. 26), LSU (Oct. 5), Arkansas (Oct. 10), and Auburn (Oct. 19). On the road, Georgia travels to Ole Miss for the first time since 2020 (Sept. 21), along with trips to Tennessee (Oct. 2), Texas (Oct. 16), and Mississippi State for the regular season finale (Oct. 26). At the conclusion of the conference slate, the top 12 teams in the league standings will play in the SEC Soccer Tournament in Pensacola, Florida, running from Nov. 2 through Nov. 9.
