San Antonio closes out the regular season with a pair of home matches, concluding with Orange County SC on Saturday, Oct. 24.
In 2026, the club will play each Western Conference team at least twice and square off against seven Eastern Conference foes in total, including a visit to the two-time reigning Players' Shield winners Louisville City FC on Saturday, Aug. 8.

San Antonio will host 16 different opponents in its 17 home matches over the course of the regular season, all of which will take place on Saturday or Sunday.
The 2026 season will also see SAFC once again vie for the Prinx Tires USL Cup - the USL's in-season tournament between USL Championship and USL League One - after making the quarterfinal round in its inaugural run. San Antonio FC opens its group slate Saturday, April 25 at Toyota Field vs. Birmingham Legion FC before heading to face 2025 USL League One champion One Knoxville SC Saturday, May 16. The team will then head to Tulsa on Saturday, June 6 and finish out group play at home against League One side Chattanooga Red Wolves SC on Saturday, July 11.
