The 2024 Atlantic Coast Conference men's soccer season was the 71st season of men's varsity soccer in the conference. This was the first season with fifteen teams competing in the conference, after the additions of California, SMU, and Stanford on July 1, 2024.[2]
Wake Forest were the defending regular season champions of the Atlantic Division and Notre Dame were the defending regular season champions of the Coastal Division. Neither of those two teams could use their regular season championships to win the ACC tournament title, as Clemson won as the fourth seed. Clemson and Notre Dame faced-off in the NCAA tournament final. Clemson would go on to win the game 2–1. It marked the third straight year that an ACC team won the college soccer championship.[3]
