The WAC men's soccer tournament was the conference championship tournament for soccer for the Western Athletic Conference (since renamed the United Athletic Conference). The tournament has been held every year from 2013 until 2025.
Previously, it was held every year between 1996 and 1999 before the sport was discontinued by the conference for 14 years. 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 Division I men's soccer championship.The WAC stopped sponsoring men's soccer after the 2025 NCAA Division I men's soccer season when all of its members joined other conferences and the WAC was rebranded to the UAC.
Seattle U was the most winning team with 5 titles.
