The 2023 Ivy League men's soccer tournament was the inaugural postseason men's soccer tournament for the Ivy League held from November 10 through November 12, 2023.[1] The tournament was hosted by Rhodes Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, home of the regular season champions, Penn. The four team-team single-elimination tournament consisted of two rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. Third seeded Yale became the first team to win the championship by defeating Brown 2–1 in the Final.[2] The conference tournament title was the first for the Yale men's soccer program, and the first for head coach Kylie Stannard. Yale had previously won six regular season men's soccer titles before the Ivy League Tournament was created.[3] As tournament champions, Yale earned the Ivy League's automatic berth into the 2023 NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament.
The top four teams in the regular season earned a spot in the tournament and teams were seeded by conference record. A tiebreaker was required as both Harvard and Yale finished the regular season tied with 3–1–3 records. Harvard defeated Yale 3–1 on October 14 during the regular season. Therefore, Harvard earned the second seed in the tournament while Yale was the third seed.[4][5]
