MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. -  The St. Thomas Bobcats have officially unveiled their 2026 football schedule, marking a new era under first-year head coach Drew Davis. With a mix of familiar rivals, challenging road trips, and key conference matchups, the Bobcats' slate sets the stage for an exciting debut season in Davis's tenure.

St. Thomas opens the season on the road, traveling to Lebanon on August 27 to take on Cumberland Phoenix. The early test away from home will provide an immediate look at the Bobcats' identity under new leadership.

The home opener follows on September 5, as St. Thomas returns to Miami Gardens to host Fort Lauderdale Eagles. The Bobcats will look to energize their home crowd in their first appearance of the season.

A week later, on September 12, St. Thomas welcomes the Lindsey Wilson Blue Raiders. This matchup carries extra motivation, as the Bobcats struggled against the Blue Raiders last season and will be seeking redemption.

The Bobcats then head north for another tough road test, traveling to Kentucky to face Georgetown Tigers. The two programs have built a competitive recent history—St. Thomas fell to Georgetown in the second round of the 2024 NAIA playoffs but responded last season with a convincing victory.

Conference play begins on October 3, as the Bobcats hit the road to face Ave Maria Gyrenes in their Sun Conference opener. From there, St. Thomas returns home for back-to-back games, hosting the Warner Royals on October 10 and the Keiser Seahawks on October 17 in what could be pivotal conference matchups.

The schedule then shifts back to the road for two consecutive weeks. On October 24, the Bobcats travel to Lakeland to take on Southeastern Fire, followed by a Halloween showdown on October 31 in Thomasville against the Thomas Night Hawks.

St. Thomas closes the regular season with two games in Miami Gardens. The Bobcats host Webber International Warriors on November 7 before wrapping up the year in the annual "Battle for Miami Gardens" against Florida Memorial Lions.

With a balanced mix of home and away contests, renewed rivalries, and conference implications throughout, the 2026 schedule offers Drew Davis an immediate opportunity to make his mark. As the Bobcats aim to build on recent success and reassert themselves as contenders, all eyes will be on how this new chapter unfolds.
