The 2020 ACC Men's Soccer Tournament will be the 34th edition of the ACC Men's Soccer Tournament. The tournament will decide the Atlantic Coast Conference champion and guaranteed representative into the 2020 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Tournament. The final will be played at Sahlen's Stadium in Cary, North Carolina.

Background

The format of the tournament was announced in conjunction with all other ACC fall sports on July 29, 2020.[1]

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the format of the 2020 tournament will undergo different procedures than normally. Instead of the typical 12-team tournament, the 2020 ACC Tournament will only feature 4 teams with all matches played at Sahlen's Stadium to create a "isolation zone" to minimize the spread of the pandemic. The semifinals are to be played on November 13, 2020, with the finals on November 15, 2020.[2]
