Mid-American Conference Men's Soccer Tournament


The Mid-American Conference Men's Soccer Tournament was the conference championship tournament in soccer for the Mid-American Conference. The tournament was held every year from 1994 until 2019. It was a single-elimination tournament and seeding was based on regular season records. The winner, declared conference champion, received the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Men's Division I Soccer Championship.
Starting in 2020, the tournament was canceled, and the regular season champion was declared the conference champion, which is in effect until at least 2024. This was in part due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
