CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – The bracket and seeds for the 2023 ACC Men’s Soccer Championship were announced Friday evening following the conclusion of regular-season play. The tournament includes all 12 of the league’s men’s soccer programs and kicks off Wednesday, Nov. 1, with first-round matches at four campus sites.
 
The tournament’s No. 1 seed for the first time since 2014, Notre Dame (11-1-4, 6-0-2 ACC) won the Coastal Division and is unbeaten in its last 10 matches. Wake Forest (11-1-5, 4-1-3) earned the No. 2 seed after clinching the Atlantic Division championship on Friday, and the Demon Deacons are unbeaten in their last 12 matches. Virginia (10-3-3, 5-2-1) claimed the No. 3 seed, while Clemson (9-3-3, 4-2-2) nabbed the No. 4 seed. The top four seeds earned first-round byes and will host quarterfinal games on Sunday, Nov. 5.
