The 2023 Big East Conference men's soccer tournament was the post-season women's soccer tournament for the Big East Conference held from November 4 to 12, 2023. The eight-match tournament took place at Maryland SoccerPlex in Boyds, Maryland for the semifinals and finals, while the first round was hosted by the higher seeded team. The eight-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The defending champions were the Creighton Bluejays.[1] They were unable to defend their title, losing as the sixth seed in the first round to Providence. Xavier finished as tournament champions after defeating Georgetown in a penalty shoot-out in the Final.[2][3] This was the first Big East title in program history for Xavier, and the first for head coach John Higgins.[4] As tournament champions, Xavier earned the Big East's automatic place in the 2023 NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament.
