The 2025 Atlantic Coast Conference men's soccer season was the 72nd season of men's varsity soccer in the conference. The season began on August 21. Conference play began in September and concluded in October. The 2025 ACC men's soccer tournament was held from November 5 through November 16 at campus sites and at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina.[2]

Pittsburgh were the defending regular season champions. The Wake Forest Demon Deacons were the defending ACC tournament champions.[3]

Virginia won the regular season title with an undefeated 5–0–3 regular season record. They were unable to convert their regular season title into an ACC Tournament title, as they lost in the final to SMU. Nine teams from the ACC qualified for the NCAA Tournament.

Stadiums and locations

Note: Florida State, Georgia Tech and Miami (FL) are members of the Atlantic Coast Conference but do not sponsor men's soccer.
