Welcome to the 2026 Natick Soccer Club Fall Classic Tournament!
Natick Soccer Club will host the 44th annual Fall Classic Tournament on October 9-12 on fields in and around Natick, MA. As the region’s largest of its kind, the tournament is open to town teams grades 2-8 of all skill levels. This weekend we will host 277 teams from all over New England and beyond and thousands of their fans as they play in over 500 games across 7 different sites for a fun weekend full of great soccer and fantastic memories.
This year’s theme is “This Is Our Game”, a logo and slogan inspired by the winner of our 2026 contest, Lucas B. Congratulations, Lucas! You will find this logo on all of our merchandise which can be purchased at all the sites over the course of the tournament weekend.
