The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers men's soccer team represents Coastal Carolina University in all NCAA Division I men's college soccer competitions. The team competes in the Sun Belt Conference, following previous tenures in Conference USA and Big South Conference, both of which had been prior conference homes for that ream. During their Big South tenure, the Chanticleers were one of that league's more successful teams, both within the conference and in the NCAA Tournament. In 2003, the Chanticleers became the first Big South team to reach the final sixteen in the tournament.[1]

Despite not having been a Big South member since the 2015 season, the Chanticleers still have the most regular season and tournament championships of any Big South team. The program has won 11 regular season and 12 tournament championships.[1]

The Chanticleers won 4 out of 5 tournament championships during their tenure in Sun Belt men's soccer, with all 4 wins coming against Georgia State.

After the Sun Belt men's soccer league disbanded at the end of the 2020–21 school year, Coastal joined Conference USA (C-USA) for that sport. C-USA was already the men's soccer home of another in-state school, South Carolina, although the latter school's natural in-conference rival is Kentucky, given that Kentucky and South Carolina are full members of the Southeastern Conference.[2] However, following a major conference realignment in 2021 brought several new men's soccer schools to the Sun Belt, that league announced it would reinstate men's soccer no later than 2023.[3] The SBC later announced it would reinstate soccer in 2022, following the arrival of three new full members with men's soccer teams (James Madison, Marshall, Old Dominion).[4]

Stadium

Coastal Carolina University Soccer Field is home to CCU's men's and women's soccer programs. In 2003 the facility was the home of the first-ever NCAA Championship event hosted by Coastal Carolina University, as CCU's men's soccer team defeated Davidson, 3–0, in the opening round of the NCAA Men's Soccer Tournament.
