The Lindenwood Women's Rugby team has announced their 2026 Fall Schedule which will feature nine matches total with seven of them being NIRA contests.

The Lions will kick off their season on September 6 with a home match against Southern Nazarene before going on the road for five straight matches including a neutral site match against Queens in Hendersonville, Tennessee on September 12. Following the match against Queens, the Lions will play Southern Nazarene for a second time in Bethany, Oklahoma on September 19.

The last three road matches will feature matchups against Navy (Sept. 25) and Brown University (Sept. 27) which will both take place in Annapolis, Maryland. The fifth straight road match will occur on October 10 at Davenport University.  

Lindenwood finally returns home on October 17 to take on Harvard, which sets up a much anticipated rematch of the NIRA Divisional Championship Match from a season ago. Rounding out the final two matches for the Black and Gold will consist of the final road match of the regular season falling on October 24 at Navy, before wrapping up the last match of the season at home against Davenport on October 31. 

After making the NIRA Divisional Championship Match in 2025 during their first season as a full member of the NIRA, the Lions will look to build off of their success heading into the 2026 season.
