NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament

The NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament, sometimes known as the College Cup, is an American intercollegiate soccer tournament conducted by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and determines the Division I men's national champion. The tournament was formally held in 1959, when it was an eight-team tournament. Since then, the tournament has expanded to 48 teams, in which every Division I conference tournament champion is allocated a berth. Among the most successful programs, Saint Louis won 10 titles during dynasty years between 1959 and 1973. Indiana has won 8 titles beginning in 1982, whereas Virginia has won 7 titles beginning in 1989.

Although the tournament is frequently referenced as the "College Cup", the NCAA applies the title only to the semifinal and championship rounds of the tournament proper. Since the tournament began, the semifinal and final fixtures have been held at a neutral site predetermined by the NCAA before starting the regular season.

Format

The NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament is a 48-team, single-elimination tournament. Currently, 23 spots are reserved for the winners of automatic bids.

As of the upcoming 2026 NCAA men's soccer season, the following conferences are expected to be granted automatic qualification:

Each conference determines the format for its conference championship, which determines the school that receives its automatic bid. Many use conference tournaments, although three conferences award the championship and automatic bid to the regular-season champion. The remaining 26 teams receive at-large bids. The at-large teams are selected by a committee consisting of representatives from each of the eight regions the NCAA has divided the country into. The committee uses a number of criteria, the most influential supposedly being the Ratings Percentage Index, a mathematical formula designed to objectively compare the results and strength of schedule of all Division I teams.^[2]

The top 16 teams are seeded into the bracket and receive first round byes. The other 32 are grouped by geographical proximity. The first four rounds are played on campus sites, with matches being hosted by the higher seed. The College Cup, comprising the semifinal and final matches, is played at a predetermined site.

Washington is the current champion, defeating NC State 3–2 in overtime in the 2025 final.

The University of Connecticut did not adopt "UConn" as its sole athletic brand until 2013.
[2]
This team represented the Brooklyn campus of Long Island University. In 2019, LIU merged the Brooklyn athletic program with the NCAA Division II program of its Post campus. The merged men's soccer team, which now plays as the LIU Sharks, inherited the history and records of the Brooklyn program.
[3]
Title game was suspended due to bad weather conditions, with both teams sharing the title.
[4]
Title shared after the game ended in a tie, with no extra time played.
[5]
Disqualified at a later time so the title was declared vacated.
[6]
The "Philadelphia College of Textiles & Science", known for sports purposes as "Philadelphia Textile", changed its name to 'Philadelphia University' (PhilaU) in 1999. In 2017, PhilaU merged with Thomas Jefferson University, a healthcare-only institution also in Philadelphia that had no athletic program. The merged university adopted the Thomas Jefferson name and inherited the PhilaU athletic program, which now competes as "Jefferson".
[7]
The University of North Carolina at Charlotte did not adopt its current athletic brand name of "Charlotte" until 2000.
