The 2023 Big Ten women's soccer tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for the Big Ten Conference held from October 29 through November 5, 2023. The tournament was hosted by the higher seeded team for the Quarterfinals and then at Lower.com Field in Columbus, Ohio for the Semifinals and Final.[1] The eight team-team single-elimination tournament consisted of two rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. Penn State were the defending champions,[2] and they were unable to defend their crown, as they lost in the Semifinals to Iowa. Iowa went on to win the tournament with a 1–0 victory over Wisconsin in the Final.[3][4] The conference tournament title was the second for the Iowa women's soccer program, both of which have come under head coach Dave DiIanni.[5] As tournament champions, Iowa earned the Big Ten's automatic berth into the 2023 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament.
The top eight teams in the regular season earned a spot in the tournament. Tiebreakers were required to determine the first and second seeds and the sixth and seventh seeds for the tournament. Michigan State and Nebraska tied for first place with 7–1–2 records during regular season conference play. The teams did not play during the regular season and both had seven wins in conference games so the third tiebreaker of best record versus mutually played conference teams was used. Michigan State earned the first seed and Nebraska earned the second seed. Rutgers and Ohio State tied for sixth as both finished with 5–4–1 conference records. Rutgers earned the sixth seed by virtue of their 1–0 win over Ohio State on October 19.[6][7]
