NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Vanderbilt soccer program announced its 2025 schedule Wednesday, featuring 17 regular-season contests and a pair of exhibition matches as the Commodores look to build on a postseason run in 2024 highlighted by the program’s first NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 appearance.
Vanderbilt opens the year at home with an exhibition match against Bowling Green on Aug. 4 before traveling to Maryville, Tennessee, to face Virginia Tech in a neutral-site exhibition on Aug. 9.
The regular season begins with back-to-back matches at the Vanderbilt Soccer Complex, starting with the home opener against Austin Peay on Aug. 14, followed by a visit from Louisville on Aug. 17.
The Dores then hit the road for nonconference tilts at Tennessee Tech (Aug. 21) and Memphis (Aug. 24), before returning home for a pair of matchups against Yale (Aug. 29) and Georgetown (Sept. 4). The nonconference slate concludes with a trip to Middle Tennessee on Sept. 7.
Vanderbilt will host five SEC opponents this fall, beginning with LSU on Sept. 12. Other home conference matchups include Oklahoma (Sept. 21), Auburn (Oct. 2), Missouri (Oct. 10), and in-state rival Tennessee (Oct. 19).
