Big East Conference men's soccer tournament

The Big East Conference men's soccer tournament is the conference championship tournament in soccer for the Big East Conference. The single-elimination tournament has been held every year since the Big East Conference realignment in 2013. In 2023, the tournament will expand from six to eight teams, coinciding with the Big East adding Akron as a single-sport member and increasing its men's soccer lineup to 12 teams. The conference has split into East and Midwest divisions for scheduling purposes, although it will maintain a single league table. Seeding for the tournament is based on regular season conference records. The team with the best overall conference record will earn the top seed; the second seed will be the team from the opposite division with the best conference record. All remaining seeds will be based on the overall conference table. With the expansion to an eight-team bracket, byes have been eliminated; instead, the top four seeds will host quarterfinal matches, with the survivors advancing to a predetermined site for the semifinals and final.[1] The winner, declared conference champion, receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division I men's soccer championship.
