The ACC men's soccer tournament is the conference championship tournament in soccer for the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). The tournament has been held every year since 1987. It is a single-elimination tournament and seeding is based on regular season records. The winner, declared conference champion, receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division I men's soccer championship. Beginning in 2024, the tournament expanded from 12 teams to 15, with the No. 1 seed receiving a first-round bye; seeds 2-8 hosting first-round games; No. 1 seed and top remaining seeds in each bracket hosting quarterfinal games. The semifinals and championship game are all played at the same location.
