The 2017 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Tournament (also known as the 2017 College Cup) was the 58th annual single-elimination tournament to determine the national champion of NCAA Division I men's collegiate soccer. The four-team College Cup finals was played at BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston, Texas.

Tournament procedures

A total of 68 teams will enter the 2017 tournament, with all 32 conferences tournament winners receiving an automatic bid.

The remaining 36 teams will receive "at-large" bids which are extended by the NCAA Selection Committee.

Eight teams—the four lowest-seeded automatic qualifiers and the four lowest-seeded at-large teams—will play in the First Four (the successor to what had been known as "play-in games" through the 2010 tournament). The winners of these games advance to the main draw of the tournament.

The Selection Committee also seeds the entire field from 1 to 68.
