‡ – ACC tournament champion + – At-large invitation to the 2024 NCAA tournament As of December 17, 2024 Rankings from United Soccer Coaches Source: The ACC

The 2024 ACC men's soccer tournament was the 38th edition of the ACC men's soccer tournament. The tournament decided the Atlantic Coast Conference champion and guaranteed representative into the 2024 NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament. The final was played at Sahlen's Stadium in Cary, North Carolina.^[1]

Clemson are the defending tournament champions.^[2] Clemson was unable to defend their title. They reached the final but lost in a penalty shootout to Wake Forest. The title was Wake Forest's fourth overall, and third for head coach Bobby Muuss.^[3]

Qualification

All fifteen teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference earned a berth into the ACC Tournament. The First Round and Quarterfinals are hosted by the higher seeds. Seeding was determined by regular season conference record.^[4] The seeding for the tournament was determined on the final day of conference play, November 1. A tiebreaker was required to determine the fourth and fifth seeds as SMU and Wake Forest both finished with identical 4–2–2 records during the regular season. SMU earned the fourth seed as a result of their 3–0 home victory over Wake Forest on October 25. There was a three-way tie between NC State, Notre Dame, and Virginia as the three teams finished with 3–3–2 records. Goal differential in conference games was used as the tiebreaker. NC State was the eighth seed based on a +2 goal differential; Virginia was the ninth seed based on a 0 (zero) goal differential; and Notre Dame was the tenth seed based on a -2 goal differential. A third tiebreaker was required between California and Syracuse as both teams finished with 2–4–2 records. The two teams did not play during the regular season, so goal differential was used as the tiebreaker. California earned the eleventh seed based on their -3 goal differential, while Syracuse was the twelfth seed based on a -8 goal differential^[5]
