With a regular season slate that includes games against six 2024 NCAA Tournament teams and the reigning national champions, Tennessee soccer head coach Joe Kirt announced the Lady Vols’ schedule Wednesday afternoon.
In Kirt’s fourth season at the helm, Tennessee looks to build off a 2024 season in which it advanced to the NCAA Tournament for a fourth consecutive year and 16th time in program history.
Additionally, UT returns its All-SEC selections, Mac Midgley and Ally Brown, along with Reese Mattern who was slated to the SEC All-Freshman Team in 2024.
“We are excited to announce our 2025 schedule,” said Kirt. “Our players and staff are eager to get on the pitch with an experienced and talented team who is set to face off against the best teams in the state as well as across the country. We look forward to welcoming fans back to Regal Stadium and are ready to get underway with the fall season.”

Following its quick homestand, UT will head back on the road to Ole Miss (Oct. 5) and Oklahoma (Oct. 10). The match against the Sooners will mark just the fourth all-time meeting between the two programs and the first with Oklahoma in the SEC.
