The University of Louisville men's soccer team and head coach John Michael Hayden have announced the Cardinals' schedule for the 2025 season.

Louisville will play 16 regular season matches and two exhibitions, 10 of which will be played at Dr. Mark & Cindy Lynn Stadium.

The Cards will face eight teams in the regular season who qualified for the NCAA College Cup last season, highlighted by top-ranked Ohio State who made it to last year's semifinals.

Louisville will kick things off with a home exhibition against Lindsey Wilson on August 9, followed by a road test at Big Ten powerhouse Indiana on Aug. 16 to sharpen the squad ahead of the regular season.

Louisville opens the regular season at home against Southern Indiana on Aug. 21, the first of nine regular season home matches this fall. The Cards will also welcome Stanford (Sept. 5), Virginia (Sept. 13), Kentucky (Sept. 23), North Carolina (Oct. 3), and Pittsburgh (Oct. 31) to Dr. Mark & Cindy Lynn Stadium.

This year's Battle of the Bluegrass will be a home match for the Cards, as they face rival Kentucky on September 23 at 6 p.m. ET.

On the road, Louisville will take on national contenders like Ohio State (Sept. 9), Duke (Sept. 26), and Wake Forest (Oct. 17), rounding out a rigorous ACC slate.
