SAN FRANCISCO - Pac-12 mens soccer is back in 2022, with a quartet of matchups airing across Pac-12 Networks and Pac-12 Insider to kick off the regular season.

A total of 40 mens soccer matches are scheduled to air on Pac-12 Networks this season. No. 3 Washington and No. 5 Oregon State were tied atop the Pac-12 preseason coaches poll to open the year. The Huskies are coming off a 2021 campaign which saw them advance to their first-ever College Cup final while the Beavers picked up their first-ever outright Pac-12 title last season. No. 23 UCLA received a pair of first-place votes in the conference poll and three-time national champion Stanford finished just outside the preseason top-25.
