After their first season in St. Joseph ended disappointingly missing out on the playoffs, the St. Joseph Goats will be back at Civic Arena this spring looking for redemption, and a trip back to the playoffs .
The Arena League officially announced the full schedule for the 2026 season, with the Goats set to open on the road on May 29th against the Arkansas Diamonds. The first home game for St. Joseph at Civic Arena will be on June 6th against the Ozark Lunkers.
Of the nine weeks, the Goats will host four games and be on the road for the other five. The other three home games will he on June 20th against Grand Island, a new team to The Arena League out of Nebraska, yet to be named. On June 27th St. Joseph will host the Eau Claire Axemen.
The final home game of the season will wrap up three consecutive home matchups for the Goats, as on July 11th they will host the Iowa Woo, the team that beat them to keep them out of the championship game in their inaugural season in The Arena League in 2024.
All home matchups are currently scheduled to be played at 7:05pm. The game times, dates, and details are subject to change throughout the season. The Goats have announced several fan favorites are returning next year, as is head coach Dorsey Golston. Season tickets and single game tickets are available for purchase currently on the St. Joseph Goats website.
