The Florida soccer schedule includes dates and times for the first games of the season, along with matchups against key rivals.
This year some new enemies will enter The Swamp.
Westerners and an SEC rematch
To kick off the season, Florida’s football schedule calls for the Gators to host a night game against the Utah Utes on September 3 at 7 p.m
These two teams have only met once before, back in 1977.
In an SEC match, the Kentucky Wildcats return to Florida September 10 at 7 p.m
After holding Florida to just 13 points at Kroger Field last year, the Gators should be itching to face the Wildcats again.

More new opponents on the schedule
After battles with the Utes and Wildcats, the South Florida Bulls will also venture into Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on September 17 at 7:30 p.m. to take on the Gators
Last year Florida traveled south to Raymond James Stadium and beat the Bulls 42-20.
In this runaway, fans may recall Florida’s questionable play that resulted in a late-game injury to then-backup quarterback Anthony Richardson.
For the first time, the Eastern Washington Eagles will take a cross-country trip to the Sunshine State.
The Eagles, coming from Big Sky, finished third in the conference and boasted a 10-3 aggregate record, winning six of seven games away.
The Gators will try to wing the Eagles at noon on Oct. 12.
Just a matter of time…

rivalry weeks
As announced on May 25, the Gators and Georgia Bulldogs will face off in Jacksonville at 3:30 p.m.
The Bulldogs pounced on Florida last year, pinning Florida on a single touchdown while scoring 34.
Napier will look to set the tone of the rivalry in his freshman year, especially after the NFL picked 15 players from the Georgia roster in the 2022 draft.
Back to the evening, the Sunshine Showdown between Florida and the Florida State Seminoles is scheduled for November 25 at 7:30 p.m. in Tallahassee.
