The Sun Belt Conference Men's Soccer Tournament is the conference championship tournament in soccer for the Sun Belt Conference. The tournament was held from 1976 through 1995, when the sport was dropped.[1] The tournament resumed in 2014 when the conference reinstated men's soccer. It is a single-elimination tournament and seeding is based on regular season records. The winner, declared conference champion, receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Men's Division I Soccer Championship.
