NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament «2021  2023»

The 2022 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Tournament was the 64th edition of the NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament, a postseason tournament to determine the national champion of the 2022 NCAA Division I men's soccer season. The tournament started on November 17 and culminated with the Men's College Cup, the semifinals and finals of the tournament, which was played on December 9 and December 12 in Cary, North Carolina.

In the championship game Syracuse defeated Indiana 2–2 (7–6 pk).

All Division I men's soccer programs are eligible to qualify for the tournament. 20 teams received automatic bids by winning their conference tournaments, 3 teams received automatic bids by claiming the conference regular season crown (the Ivy League, 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.

The top 16 teams are seeded and earn a bye to the second round of the tournament.
