The Pac-12 Conference men's soccer tournament will be the conference championship tournament in college soccer for the Pac-12 Conference (Pac-12). The tournament will been held every year starting in 2026.
The winner will receive the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament.
History
The Pac-12 Conference began sponsoring men's varsity soccer in 2000.[1] Five then-Pac-12 members, California, Oregon State, Stanford, UCLA, and Washington, along with affiliate members, Fresno State[a] and San Diego State[b], competed for the Pac-12 championship. However, from 2000 through 2023, the regular season champion was also named the Pac-12 overall champion and earned the conference's automatic berth into the NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament.[4] With the drastic change in membership during the 2021–2026 NCAA conference realignment,[5][6] the conference dramatically restructured its membership.[7] This included the original men's soccer members of Oregon State and San Diego State, the latter becoming a full Pac-12 member.[8] They were joined by full-time member Gonzaga, as well as four affiliate members: Cal Baptist, Cal Poly, UC Riverside, and, for the 2026 season only, UC San Diego[c].[10]
