2025 edition of the NCAA Division I men’s soccer tournament
The 2025 NCAA Division I men’s soccer tournament will be the 67th edition of the NCAA Division I men’s soccer tournament, a postseason tournament to determine the national champion of the 2025 NCAA Division I men’s soccer season. The College Cup will be played on December 12 and December 15 at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina.
Vermont is entering the season and tournament as the defending national champion.[1]
Background and format
[edit]
The NCAA has been awarding a national men’s soccer championship to men’s varsity soccer programs since 1959. Since its inaugural tournament, the NCAA Division I men’s soccer tournament has been held annually at the conclusion of the NCAA Division I men’s soccer regular season, from mid-November to mid-December, with the exception of the 2020 tournament, which was played in May 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time of the inaugural tournament, eight teams participated in the national tournament and has expanded in size since then. Since 2001, the tournament has featured 48 teams, with the exception of the 2020 tournament, which was reduced to 32 teams due to COVID-19.
On December 9, 2024, the NCAA confirmed that WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina (near the Raleigh-Durham region) would host the College Cup (semifinals and final).[2]
All Division I men’s soccer programs are eligible to qualify for the tournament. 21 teams received automatic bids by winning their conference tournaments, one team received an automatic bid by claiming the conference regular season crown (the West Coast Conference does not hold a conference tournament), and an additional 26 teams earned at-large bids based on their regular season records.
The top 16 teams are seeded and earn a bye to the second round of the tournament.
