SAN RAMON, Calif. – Gearing up for its launch as a new Pac-12, the league today announced its 2026 Fall Olympic Sports schedules including intraconference schedules and championships information for women's soccer. Gonzaga plays its first Pac-12 game at Boise State Oct. 4, and hosts Fresno State for its first home Pac-12 contest Oct. 11.
The new league will be introducing championship events for women's and men's soccer and women's volleyball for the first time in its 110-year history. The top four women's soccer teams qualify for the inaugural Pac-12 Championship with the semifinals occurring on either Nov. 11 or 12, with the final happening that weekend (Nov. 14 or 15). Both semifinals and the final will be hosted at the same site and will be determined by which Pac-12 school has the highest non-conference RPI (site to be determined at a later date).
The new Pac-12 kicks off the 2026 season with all nine full members participating in women's soccer. The nine members have combined for five NCAA Tournament appearances over the past three seasons, including Utah State and Texas State making the postseason last season as automatic qualifiers.
The eight-match regular season round robin play begins on Oct. 1 with four conference matchups. Gonzaga has a bye on that date and will open their conference schedule Oct. 4 at Boise State. The regular season concludes Nov. 5, with GU welcoming Oregon State.
The Zags' full schedule, including their non-conference opponents, will be released in the near future.
