The 2023 Patriot League men's soccer tournament was the postseason men's soccer tournament for the Patriot League held from November 4 through November 11, 2023. The tournament was held at campus sites, with the higher seeded team hosting. The six-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The defending champions were the Navy Midshipmen.[1] They were unable to defend their crown, as they lost to Colgate in the Quarterfinals. The top seeded Boston University Terriers would go on to claim the title, defeating Lafayette in the final, 1–0.[2] [3] The conference championship was the first for the Boston University men's soccer program, and the first for head coach Kevin Nylen.[4] As tournament champions, Boston University earned the Patriot League's automatic berth into the 2023 NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament.
Six of the ten Patriot League men's soccer programs qualified for the 2023 Tournament. Teams were seeded based on their regular season records. Tiebreakers were used to determine the seedings of teams who finished with identical conference records. No tiebreakers were required as all teams finished with unique regular season conference records.[5]
