Just about two weeks ago, UMass announced that is has accepted an invitation to join the Mid-American Conference (MAC) as a full member, beginning on July 1, 2025.
All UMass sports currently competing in the Atlantic 10 will remain in the Atlantic 10 through the 2024-2025 academic year and maintain eligibility to compete for conference championships and NCAA postseason play. Massachusetts football will continue as an FBS independent program for the 2024 season.
The UMass women’s soccer team is among the university’s teams that will compete in the MAC.
However, more information will become available in the coming months regarding future conference membership plans for the UMass men’s soccer program.
