The 2022 Big East Conference men's soccer tournament was the post-season women's soccer tournament for the Big East Conference held from November 5 to 13, 2022, in the USA. The five-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 six-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The defending champions were the Georgetown Hoyas.[1] They were unable to defend their title despite being the first overall seed and regular season champions. Creighton finished as tournament champions after defeating Georgetown 3–0 in the final.[2] This is the first Big East title in program history for Creighton, and the first for head coach Johnny Torres.[3] As tournament champions, Creighton earned the Big East's automatic place in the 2022 NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament.

Seeding

The top six teams in the regular season earned a spot in the 2022 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.[4]
