Conference play continues with back-to-back road games as Eureka travels to Benedictine on Sept. 26 before visiting Wisconsin Lutheran on Oct. 3. The Red Devils then return home Oct. 10 to host defending NACC champion Concordia Wisconsin.

Following its bye week on Oct. 17, Eureka heads back on the road to face Lakeland on Oct. 24 before returning to McKinzie Field for its final two home games of the regular season. The Red Devils host Concordia Chicago on Oct. 31 before welcoming Rockford on Nov. 7. Eureka will look for a second consecutive victory over the Regents after earning a 40-20 road win in last season's meeting.

The 2026 regular season concludes Nov. 14 when the Red Devils travel to Aurora to close out Jordan's inaugural campaign at the helm of the program.
