The 2022 MAAC men's soccer tournament was the postseason men's soccer tournament for the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference held from November 6 through November 13, 2022. 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 Marist Red Foxes were the defending champions and were unable to defend their title, after a seventh place regular season finish did not qualify them for the tournament.[1] Regular season champion and top seed Quinnipiac would go on to win the tournament, defeating second seed Iona 3–2 in the final.[2] This was Quinnipiac's second overall tournament win and first since 2013. Both of their titles have come under head coach Eric Da Costa.[3] As tournament champions, Quinnipiac earned the MAAC's automatic berth into the 2022 NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament.

Seeding

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 second and third seeds as Iona and Manhattan finished with identical 5–1–4 regular season records. Iona was awarded the second seed over Manhattan by virtue of their 2–1 victory during the regular season on October 8. A second tiebreaker was required for the fourth and fifth seeds between Niagara and Siena after both teams finished 4–2–4 in the regular season. Niagara earned the fourth seed, and the right to host their opening round match, by winning their regular season match up 2–0 on October 12.[4]
