The 2024 Big Ten Conference men's soccer tournament was the post-season women's soccer tournament for the Big Ten Conference held from November 7 to 17, 2024. The six-match tournament took place at SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview, Illinois. The seven-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The defending champions were the Indiana Hoosiers. ^{[1] [2]} They were unable to defend their title, despite being the second seed in the tournament. They lost in the First Round to seventh seed Michigan. First seed Ohio State finished as tournament champions after defeating Michigan 1–0 in the Final. ^{[3] [4]} This was the fourth Big Ten title in program history for Ohio State, and first for head coach Brian Maisonneuve. ^[5] As tournament champions, Ohio State earned the Big Ten's automatic place in the 2024 NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament.

Seeding

The top seven teams in the regular season earned a spot in the 2024 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 needed to determine the first seed, and which team would get a bye into the Semifinals as Indiana and Ohio State both finished with 7–1–2 regular season records. The two teams tied their September 27 regular season match-up 2–2. A second tiebreaker was used, which was goals scored in conference play. Ohio State won this tiebreaker and earned the first seed. Ohio State scored 28 goals in conference play, while Indiana scored 26. ^[6]
