Things for 2026 referees have closed down. The new soccer year starts July 1, 2026. If you start in July and finish the field training in August/September, you’ll be ready to take the field by opening day in September. The best news is, because the soccer year and calendar year overlap by six months, if you start in July you get the rest of 2026 and ALL of 2027 as a referee.
