USC Lacrosse Announces 2026 Schedule

The Women of Troy will play nine home games in their inaugural season at Rawlinson Stadium
LOS ANGELES – The USC lacrosse team will play nine home games in 2026 in its brand new on-campus home Rawlinson Stadium, 14th-year head coach Lindsey Munday announced on Friday, Dec. 12.
Â
"We are beyond grateful for this new home and are excited to be able to play in front of our fans and supporters at Rawlinson Stadium this spring," said Munday. "It has been a journey for our program and to see it come to fruition in this stadium is truly satisfying. Now, it's our job to do right by all the love and support we've received and to make the Trojan Family proud with our play on the field. The Big Ten is the premiere conference for women's lacrosse and we know how tough every opponent will be from week to week. The nonconference schedule we've prepared will both test our players as well as grow and prepare the team for the rigors of league play. We can't wait to showcase the best of the best that lacrosse has to offer and to have the Los Angeles community and beyond come cheer on the Trojans."
Â
The state-of-the-art stadium—which seats 2,500 spectators and features a full north-facing press box—was completed in the summer and served as the home of USC women's soccer in the fall.
Â
USC lacrosse will play each of its first three games of the new year at Rawlinson beginning with California. The Golden Bears—former Pac-12 foes, now in the ACC—visit for a noon game on Sunday, Feb. 8. The Trojans' two other home contests in February will pit USC against former MPSF opponent Denver (Feb. 12) and Brown (Feb. 15).
Â
The Trojans remain on the West Coast for their first road games and head north to take on UC Davis (Feb. 20) and Stanford (Feb. 22) before trekking into the desert for a bout with Arizona State (Feb. 28) in Tempe, Ariz.
Â
When USC returns to Southern California, it will play its next four games at Rawlinson Stadium through the first two weeks of March. The Trojans start with San Diego State (March 4) and then take on Niagara (March 8). USC's first Big Ten Conference games of 2026 will be played on home grass as Penn State (March 12) and Michigan (March 15) visit Rawlinson Stadium for mid-March contests.
Â
USC will take its longest regular-season trip when it heads to Baltimore, Md., to play Johns Hopkins (March 19) and Maryland (March 22). The Trojans then close out the month of March with a conference home game against Rutgers on March 28.
Â
Three of USC's final four games will be played on the road. The Trojans visit coach Munday's alma mater Northwestern for the first time as members of the Big Ten and take on the Wildcats on March 4. USC then plays one more nonconference game in a first-time meeting with Central Michigan on April 6. The Trojans play their final regular-season home game on April 11 as host to Ohio State for Senior Day at Rawlinson Stadium. USC then closes the regular season on the road at Oregon (April 18) in Eugene, Ore.
Â
The 2026 Big Ten Tournament will be hosted by Michigan at UM Lacrosse Stadium, April 22-26, in Ann Arbor, Mich.
Â
In 2025, USC went 10-7 overall with a 3-5 mark in conference games; the Trojans' first season as members of the Big Ten. The Women of Troy finished sixth in the league standings and earned a spot in the conference tournament where it fell to No. 12 Michigan in the quarterfinals.
