The 2023 NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament was the 65th edition of the NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament, a postseason tournament that determined the national champion of 2023 NCAA Division I men's soccer season. The College Cup was played on December 8 and December 11 at Lynn Family Stadium in Louisville, Kentucky and televised on ESPNU.[1]
Syracuse is the defending national champion.[2] Syracuse was unable to defend their title as they lost to New Hampshire in the Second Round. Clemson went on to defeat Notre Dame in the final by a score of 2–1. This was Clemson's second title in three years, and it was the third straight year that a team from the ACC won the title.[3]
Qualification
[edit ]Of the 211 Division I men's soccer programs, 202 were eligible to qualify for the tournament. Nine programs were ineligible due to the reclassification process. Twenty-one teams received automatic bids by winning their conference tournaments, two teams received automatic bids by claiming the conference regular season crown (the Pac-12 Conference and West Coast Conference don't hold conference tournaments), and an additional 25 teams earned at-large bids based on their regular season records.
