The Summit League men's soccer tournament is the conference championship tournament in soccer for the Summit League. The tournament has been held every year in November since 1994.
It is played under a single-elimination format, and seeding is based on regular season records. The winner, declared conference champion, receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division I men's soccer championship.
In 2024, the tournament was not played and was instead replaced by a championship game including the top two finishing teams in conference play. In 2025, the Summit League restored the four-team tournament, and this time it will be hosted at campus sites. Starting in 2026, the tournament will expand to a six-team tournament. At the time, this included all league teams.
Denver is the most winning team of the competition with 9 titles, while the current member with the most titles is Kansas City (4).
