CCBC Essex Women’s Soccer Announces 2026 Schedule

Rosedale, Md. – The countdown to the 2026 season is on as the CCBC Essex Women's Soccer program has officially unveiled its 2026 schedule. The Knights will play a challenging 17-match regular season featuring regional rivals, conference matchups, and several home contests before setting their sights on postseason play.

CCBC Essex opens the season on August 27 with a road trip to Carroll Community College before hosting its home opener against Sussex County Community College on August 30.

The Knights will be battle-tested throughout September with key Region 20 contests against CCBC Catonsville, Potomac State, Montgomery, Garrett, Howard, Frederick, and College of Southern Maryland. They will also host Richard Bland and travel to Essex County for non-regional contests.

October doesn't let up for the Knights as they will continue conference play against Anne Arundel, Harford, Hagerstown, Prince George's, and Allegany, while also traveling to face Harcum College.

Following the regular season finale at Allegany on October 20, CCBC Essex will look to make a postseason run in the NJCAA Region 20 Tournament, hosted by CCBC Essex at CCBC Dundalk. The tournament begins with the first round on October 24, followed by the semifinals on October 28, and the championship on October 31.

The Region 20 champion will advance to the NJCAA East District Final on November 6, where the winner of that contest will earn a berth in the NJCAA Division II Women's Soccer National Championship in Huntsville, Alabama (November 15–21) on the line.

The Knights will host nine home matches during the regular season, giving fans plenty of opportunities to support the team at CCBC Essex throughout the fall.
