Men's Soccer Releases 2025 Slate

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Entering year 15 under the direction of head coach Carlos Somoano, the North Carolina men's soccer program has released its schedule for the upcoming fall season.

The schedule features 16 regular-season contests with 10 matches played at Dorrance Field.

The 2025 slate includes five teams that finished in the top 25 of the final United Soccer Coaches poll last season, highlighted by home games against No. 5 SMU and No. 6 Wake Forest. Including those two, UNC's opponents feature seven NCAA Tournament teams from a year ago.

Carolina's schedule includes home Atlantic Coast Conference matches against Wake Forest (Sept. 12), SMU (Sept. 20), Virginia Tech (Oct. 19) and Duke (Oct. 31). The Tar Heels will hit the road against conference foes NC State (Sept. 5), Virginia (Sept. 27), Louisville (Oct. 3) and Syracuse (Oct. 25).

The Tar Heels open the regular season on Aug. 21, hosting UCF, and wrap up the weekend against Seattle (Aug. 24). The following weekend, the program welcomes Evansville (Aug. 28) to Dorrance Field before hitting the road to Charleston (Sept. 1).

Carolina will also face Memphis (Sept. 16), Lipscomb (Oct. 7), and St. Thomas (Oct. 11) at Dorrance Field, rounding out non-conference play by hosting UAB (Oct. 15).

Prior to the start of the regular season, UNC will head to Campbell for its first preseason test on Aug. 9. The Tar Heels will then host VCU on Aug. 15, for their final exhibition.

North Carolina produced a 9-4-5 (4-3-1 ACC) mark in 2024, advancing to the NCAA Tournament for the 31st time in program history.
