The 2018 Big East men's soccer tournament, was the sixth men's soccer tournament of the new Big East Conference, formed in July 2013 after the original Big East Conference split into two leagues along football lines. Including the history of the original conference, it was the 23rd edition of the Big East tournament.

Georgetown repeated as champions, to earn their second-ever Big East soccer title, and their eighth overall NCAA Tournament berth. The Hoyas were the only Big East team to earn a berth into the NCAA Tournament, which they were seeded 13th in the tournament.[1] In the tournament, the Hoyas knocked off Mid-American Conference regular season Champions, West Virginia.[2][3]
