Rosedale, Md. – The CCBC Essex men's soccer program has officially announced its 2026 schedule, featuring a competitive slate of regional rivals, challenging non-conference matchups, and another pursuit of Region 20 and NJCAA postseason success.
Coach Fiedler has lead the Knights to 14 consecutive Region 20 championships and they have qualified for the the NJCAA Division II National Tournament all six years since established, including Final Four appearances in five of the six, and the national runner up three years.
The Knights will open the season at the JUCO Kickoff Classic in Westfield, Indiana for the second year in a row, taking on Northeast on August 21 before facing Schoolcraft on August 23. The opening weekend will provide an early test against two nationally respected programs as Essex begins its campaign.

The September schedule includes key road trips to Potomac State, Montgomery, Frederick, and Cecil, while supporters will have opportunities to see the Knights host Garrett, Howard, and Southern Maryland.
The Knights start October at home hosting Anne Arundel and Harford before traveling to Hagerstown for another conference contest. Their final home game of the season is against Prince George's, and they will close out the regular season at Harcum and Allegany before turning their attention to postseason play.
CCBC Essex will host this year's Region 20 Tournament at CCBC Dundalk. It is scheduled to begin on October 24, with the semifinals on October 29 and the championship on October 31.
