FLUSHING, N.Y. – Entering her 13th year on the sideline, Head Coach Amy Delmore and the Queens College softball program have announced the 2026 schedule.
 
The Knights are gearing up for a challenging and opportunity-filled season, looking to return to the East Coast Conference (ECC) Postseason Tournament after finishing 9–27 overall and 5–15 in ECC play during the 2025 campaign.
 
The 2026 slate will test Queens against top-tier competition, including three teams that advanced to the 2025 NCAA Tournament, highlighted by hosting defending East Regional Champion Pace University. These matchups will serve as key benchmarks as Queens navigates conference play.
 
Queens will benefit from a home-heavy schedule, hosting 11 home dates during the regular season. The Knights will welcome six non-conference opponents: Holy Family, Caldwell, Jefferson, Pace, Dominican, and Felician.
 
One of the non-conference doubleheaders will see Queens travel to New Haven, Connecticut, to face Southern Connecticut State University.
 
Queens will also play 20 ECC contests, matching up against 2025 ECC Tournament Champions D'Youville, College of Staten Island, Mercy, Molloy, and St. Thomas Aquinas College in both home and away games.
 
The home opener is set for Saturday, February 21, when the Knights host Holy Family. A pivotal stretch of the season comes in late March and early April, as Queens plays five consecutive home games from March 27 through April 7, positioning the team for a strong push in the ECC standings.
 
Queens will look to earn their third postseason appearance in four seasons as they search for their first ECC title since 2015. The ECC Double-Elimination Tournament is scheduled for May 8–10, with the top four teams advancing to postseason play at the #1 seed.
 
All home games will be streamed live on FLO College, and fans can follow along on live stats (Softball)
