The Dartmouth men's soccer team is scheduled to open its 2026 season against Boston College on Friday, August 28, at the Newton Soccer Field. The match marks the beginning of the Connor Klekota era for Dartmouth, as Klekota takes over as head coach following his tenure as an assistant at Georgetown.

Boston College enters the matchup with a 2-0-0 season record, having recently secured victories over Merrimack and Siena. The Eagles' roster features Russell Brown, who has scored two goals in limited action, and Andrej Borak, who maintains a 0.50 goals-against average.

Dartmouth returns several key players from its 2025 campaign, including Olly Spicer, a second-team All-Ivy honoree who led the team in points, and Eidur Baldvinsson. The all-time series between the two programs stands at 10-9-3 in favor of Boston College.
