Kirt Announces 2024 Tennessee Soccer Schedule

With a regular season schedule that includes games against seven NCAA Tournament qualifiers and three conference champions, Tennessee football head coach Joe Kirt announced the Lady Vols schedule Wednesday morning.

In Kirt’s third season at the helm, Tennessee looks to build on a 2023 season in which it advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the 10th time in program history.

“We are excited to announce our 2024 schedule,” Kirt said. “Our staff is eager to take the field with a talented and strong team that is ready to compete against the best teams in the state as well as across the country. We look forward to welcoming fans back to Regal and are ready to get started with the fall schedule.”

The 2024 season is scheduled to begin Aug. 7 with an exhibition game at Virginia, followed by another home exhibition game against UNC Asheville on Aug. 11. The regular season will begin when UT travels to Indiana on Aug. 15. Five additional home games against Chattanooga (Aug. 18), Lipscomb (Aug. 25), UCLA (Sept. 5), Florida Atlantic (Sept. 8) and Memphis (Sept. 12) as well as two additional road games at ETSU (Aug. 22) and Duke (Sept. 1) will round out the non-conference schedule.

In conference play, the Lady Vols will host five teams at Regal Stadium, facing Ole Miss (Sept. 19), Vanderbilt (Sept. 29), Missouri (Oct. 4), Auburn (Oct. 13) and South Carolina (Oct. 24). The Big Orange will face Alabama (Sept. 22), Florida (Sept. 26), Arkansas (Oct. 10), Georgia (Oct. 18) and Kentucky (Oct. 27) on the road.

Tennessee’s schedule includes seven games against teams that have qualified for the 2023 NCAA Tournament. Additionally, the Lady Vols will face the defending champions of the PAC-12 (UCLA), AAC (Memphis) and SEC (Arkansas).

UT’s 2024 opponent lineup will include matches against six teams ranked in the top 25 of the final 2023 United Soccer Coaches Rankings.

The SEC Tournament will be held in Pensacola, Fla., for the third time in as many years, after being held in Orange Beach, Ala., for 18 of 19 seasons. The conference tournament will begin Nov. 3 and run through Nov. 10. The first four rounds of the NCAA Tournament will be played on campus, with the NCAA Women’s College Cup scheduled for Dec. 6-9 in Cary, N.C.
