The Pac-12 soccer season will start later and be a little shorter this season.
Multiple sources say the 2020 campaign (which will take place entirely in 2021) will consist of 16 games—four non-conference matches plus a dozen Pac-12 matches.
It will begin no sooner than Feb. 3, per NCAA rules. It was originally scheduled to begin in August but was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Normally, Pac-12 soccer teams play 11 league games—a round robin—and anywhere from seven to nine non-conference games.
To arrive at 12 league games, each Pac-12 team will face its conference rival twice.
