The 2023 Big Ten Conference men's soccer season was the 32nd season of college soccer play for the Big Ten Conference and part of the 2023 NCAA Division I men's soccer season. This was the Big Ten's eleventh season with eight men's soccer teams, as in 2024, UCLA and Washington will join the conference.[1][2]
The Maryland Terrapins were the defending champions,[3] and Indiana were the regular season and tournament champions. Indiana was the only NCAA berth into the tournament, making it the first time since the conference began sponsoring men's soccer that the Big Ten did not receive an at-large berth.
Kimani Stewart-Baynes of Maryland was the first Big Ten player selected in the 2024 MLS SuperDraft, selected fourth overall by the Colorado Rapids.
