When and Where Are the 2026 Salem-Keizer High School Soccer Games?

Looking for the 2026 Salem and Keizer boys’ and girls’ soccer schedules? Fall high school soccer begins in late August, with local public and private schools playing throughout September and October. This guide includes varsity schedules for McNary, McKay, North Salem, South Salem, Sprague, West Salem, Blanchet Catholic, Salem Academy, Western Christian and the Willamette Valley Christian/Livingstone Adventist boys’ co-op.

Salem-Keizer Public Schools middle-school soccer is different: middle-school boys’ and girls’ soccer is a spring sport, so the upcoming middle-school season will take place in spring 2027 and those game schedules have not yet been fully published.

Salem & Keizer High School Soccer 2026

There is a lot of local soccer happening around Salem and Keizer this fall.

The six Salem-Keizer public high schools — McNary, McKay, North Salem, South Salem, Sprague and West Salem — all have boys’ and girls’ varsity soccer programs.

There are also several private-school programs, including Blanchet Catholic, Salem Academy and Western Christian, plus a boys’ soccer co-op involving Salem-based Livingstone Adventist Academy and Willamette Valley Christian.

The first OSAA soccer contests and jamborees can begin August 27, 2026, with the postseason continuing into November.

Important: Soccer schedules can change because of field availability, weather, transportation or other circumstances. Before heading to a game, I recommend checking the official OSAA Boys Soccer Schedule or official OSAA Girls Soccer Schedule.

McNary High School Soccer Schedule 2026 — Keizer

McNary gives Keizer families plenty of opportunities to catch local soccer this fall, especially once Central Valley Conference play begins.

The McNary boys are also coming off an especially strong run. Salem-Keizer Public Schools noted that the program went undefeated in conference play in 2025 and earned its fourth straight conference title.

Livingstone Adventist Academy / Willamette Valley Christian Boys Soccer

Livingstone Adventist Academy is located in Salem and participates in boys’ soccer through a co-op with Willamette Valley Christian. OSAA currently lists 10 varsity contests for the combined program.

Boys Soccer Schedule

Livingstone does not currently list a separate girls’ OSAA soccer program, so I have not added a girls’ schedule that does not exist.

What About Chemawa Indian School?

Chemawa Indian School is another Salem high school, so I checked it as well.

Its current OSAA sports listing includes football, volleyball, cross country, basketball, baseball, softball and track and field, but does not currently list boys’ or girls’ soccer for 2026-27. Because of that, there is no soccer schedule to include here.

2026-27 Salem-Keizer Middle School Soccer

There is one big difference between high school and middle school soccer in Salem-Keizer:

High school soccer is played in the fall. Middle school soccer is played in the spring.

Salem-Keizer Public Schools lists soccer as a spring sport available to all middle-school grades. The district’s current middle-school athletic offerings also include basketball and track and field in the spring.

The district’s middle schools include:

• Claggett Creek Middle School
• Crossler Middle School
• Houck Middle School
• Judson Middle School
• Leslie Middle School
• Parrish Middle School
• Stephens Middle School
• Straub Middle School
• Waldo Middle School
• Walker Middle School
• Whiteaker Middle School

There are both boys’ and girls’ middle-school soccer teams. For example, Claggett Creek’s 2026 school calendar included boys’ varsity soccer, girls’ varsity soccer and postseason soccer games during the spring season.

When Are the Next Salem-Keizer Middle School Soccer Games?

Because the next middle-school soccer season is spring 2027, the complete game-by-game 2027 schedule has not yet been published as of August 17, 2026.

Rather than copy an old spring 2026 schedule and risk sending families to the wrong school or field, I’ll keep this section limited to confirmed information until the new schedules are released.

Families can also check the Salem-Keizer Public Schools Athletics page or their individual middle-school calendar as the spring season gets closer.

Soccer Is Another Great Part of Living in Salem & Keizer

One thing I love about living in Salem and Keizer is how many opportunities families have to get involved in their local community.

High school sports are a perfect example.

You can spend a fall evening at a soccer game watching students compete, see families and neighbors you know in the stands, and support kids who have spent months training for their season.

And because there are so many schools within Salem and Keizer, conference season brings a ton of truly local matchups.

Planning to Attend a Salem or Keizer Soccer Game?

A few things to keep in mind:

• Check the school or OSAA schedule before leaving because kickoff times and fields can change.
• Some schools use district or community athletic fields rather than playing every match directly on the school campus.
• Games marked TBD did not yet have a finalized kickoff time when this guide was updated.
• Fall evenings in Salem and Keizer can change quickly from warm and sunny to cool or rainy, especially later in the season.
• Playoff games are not included yet because those matchups depend on regular-season results.
• Bookmark this guide if you want to come back once postseason and spring middle-school schedules are available.

When Do the Oregon High School Soccer Playoffs Start?

For 2026, OSAA lists different cutoff and playoff dates depending on classification. State soccer postseason play begins in late October, with quarterfinals and semifinals in November and state championship games scheduled for November 14, 2026.

Once playoff teams and matchups are determined, those games can be added separately from the regular-season schedules above.
