Qualification and selections
Main article: NIRSA National Soccer Championships § Qualification and selections

Each of the six regions will receive three automatic bids for both the men's and women's championship that they award to its members. The final six bids are considered "at-large", and will be given out by NIRSA to teams, typically based on the regional tournament results and RPI.[2]

The 48 remaining teams will participate in the open division and will be selected via a lottery draw that will air on October 6, 2023. Any team with membership in a NIRSA-affiliated league or with a minimum of four games played prior to the tournament were able to enter their name into the lottery. If a selected team qualified for the championship division, an alternate would take their spot.[3]
