The Summit League men's soccer tournament is the conference championship tournament in soccer for the Summit League. The tournament has been held every year since 1994.
It is played under a single-elimination format, 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.
In 2024, the tournament will not be played and will instead be replaced by a championship game including the top two finishing teams in conference play.
Denver is the most winning team of the competition with 8 titles.
