The 2022 CAA men's soccer tournament was the postseason men's soccer tournament for the Colonial Athletic Association held from November 3 through November 12, 2022. The five-match tournament took place at campus sites, with the higher seed hosting. The six-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The defending champions were the Hofstra Pride.[1] They were able to successfully defend their title, defeating the top overall seed, Elon 2–1 in the Final.[2] The conference tournament title was the sixth overall for the Hofstra men's soccer program all of which have come under head coach Richard Nuttall.[3] As tournament champions, Hofstra earned the CAA's automatic berth into the 2022 NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament.
This was the last CAA tournament under the "Colonial Athletic Association" identity. On July 20, 2023, the CAA announced it had changed its name to Coastal Athletic Association.[4]
The top six teams in the regular season earned a spot in the 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 fifth and sixth seeds as Drexel and William & Mary both finished with regular season records of 3–3–3. Drexel earned the fifth seed by virtue of their 4–1 regular season win over William & Mary on September 3.[5]
