2022 Big South Conference men's soccer tournament

The 2022 Big South Conference men's soccer tournament was the postseason men's soccer tournament for the Big South Conference held on November 6 and November 12, 2022. The tournament was hosted on the campus of the higher seed each game. The four-team single-elimination tournament consisted of two rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. Campbell were the defending champions.[1] However, they were unable to defend their crown, falling in to High Point in the final.[2] The conference tournament title was the second for the High Point men's soccer program, both of which have come under head coach Zach Haines. The title was High Point's second in the last three years and their fourth straight year making the final of the tournament.[3] As tournament champions, High Point earned the Big South's automatic berth into the 2022 NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament.
