The 2022 Horizon League men's soccer tournament was the postseason men's soccer tournament for the Horizon League. It was held from November 6 through November 12, 2022. The quarterfinals of the tournament were held at campus sites, while semifinals and final took place at Krenzler Field in Cleveland, Ohio. The six team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The Oakland Grizzlies were the defending champions.[1] They were unable to defend their crown, falling to Cleveland State in the Semifinals. Cleveland State would finish as tournament champions after defeating IUPUI 3–0 in the Final.[2] This was the second overall title for Cleveland State and first for head coach Siniša Ubiparipović.[3] As tournament champions, Cleveland State earned the Horizon League's automatic berth into the 2022 NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament.

Seeding

Six Horizon League schools participated in the tournament. Teams were seeded by conference record. The top two seeds received byes to the Semifinals and the number one seed hosted the Semifinals and Final. A tiebreaker was required to determine the third and fourth seeds as IUPUI and Oakland both finished with identical 4–2–3 conference records. IUPUI earned the third seed by virtue of their 4–2 regular season win over Oakland on October 22.[4]
