The 2023 MAAC men's soccer tournament was the postseason men's soccer tournament for the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference held from November 5 through November 12, 2023. The five-match tournament took place at campus sites, with the higher seed hosting matches. The host for the matches was determined by seeding from regular season play. The six-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The Quinnipiac Bobcats were the defending champions.[1] They were unable defend their title as a ninth place regular season finish did not qualify them for the tournament. The Rider Broncs would go on to win the tournament, defeating top seed Iona 2–1 in the final.[2] [3] This was Rider's sixth overall tournament win. Head coach Chad Duernberger won his first tournament title in his first year at the helm of Rider.[4] As tournament champions, Rider earned the MAAC's automatic berth into the 2023 NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament.
The top six teams in the regular season earned a spot in the 2023 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 for the tournament as Marist and Niagara finished with identical 4–4–2 regular season records. The teams tied 1–1 in their regular season match up on September 23. Record against highest remaining seeded teams was the second tiebreaker. Both teams lost to the top three seeds, but Niagara defeated fourth seed Manhattan, while Marist lost to Manhattan during the regular season. Therefore, Niagara was the fifth seed while Marist was the sixth seed.[5] [6]
