# 2022 Missouri Valley Conference men's soccer tournament

The 2022 Missouri Valley Conference men's soccer tournament was the postseason men's soccer tournament for the Missouri Valley Conference held from November 6 through November 13, 2022. The First Round was held at campus sites. The semifinals and finals took place at Betty & Bobby Allison South Stadium in Springfield, Missouri. The seven-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The defending champions were the Missouri State Bears, who successfully defended their title by defeating Evansville 1–0 in the final. This was the second straight year that Missouri State and Evansville played in the title game. The conference tournament title was the fourth, and third in a row for the Missouri State men's soccer program, and third for head coach Michael Seabolt. As tournament champions, Missouri State earned the Missouri Valley's automatic berth into the 2022 NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament.

## Seeding

All seven Missouri Valley Conference men's soccer programs qualified for the 2022 Tournament. Teams were seeded based on regular season conference record and tiebreakers were used to determine seedings of teams that finished with the same record. A tiebreaker was required to determine the fourth and fifth seeds in the tournament as UIC and Belmont both finished the season with 10 points in regular season play. The teams drew 3–3 during their regular season match-up, so goal differential in league play was used as the second tiebreaker. UIC earned the fourth seed as they finished with a +2 goal difference while Belmont was the fifth seed after finishing with a -2 goal difference.
