Seeding

Six of the ten Patriot League men's soccer programs qualified for the 2021 Tournament. Teams were seeded based on their regular season records. Tiebreakers were used to determine the seedings of teams who finished with identical conference records. A tiebreaker was required to determine the fourth and fifth seeds for the tournament as Lehigh and Navy finished with identical 5–4–0 records. Lehigh earned the fourth seed by virtue of their 3–2 overtime victory over Navy on October 23. Navy was the fifth seed for the tournament.
