Main article: 2023 NCAA Division I men's soccer season

Of the 211 Division I men's soccer programs, 202 were eligible to qualify for the tournament. Nine programs were ineligible due to the reclassification process. Twenty-one teams received automatic bids by winning their conference tournaments, two teams received automatic bids by claiming the conference regular season crown (the Pac-12 Conference and West Coast Conference don't hold conference tournaments), and an additional 25 teams earned at-large bids based on their regular season records.
