DURHAM – The Duke men's soccer program is returning to the NCAA Championship for the first time since 2018, having been selected as the No. 7 seeded team in this year's tournament.
Â
48 teams were selected into the single-elimination field, with the top-16 teams in the nation earning a seed and bye through to the second round.
The Blue Devils (13-4-1, 5-2-1 ACC) received a first round bye and will play the winner of UCLA (10-6-1, 5-4-1 Pac-12) and UC Santa Barbara (12-4-4, 6-1-2 Big West) on Sunday, Nov. 21 at 1 p.m., in Koskinen Stadium.

The winner of Sunday's game will face either 10th-seeded Saint Louis, Maryland, or Long Island in the third round.

Â
Duke men's soccer is 31-25-2 all-time in the NCAA Championship, headlined by the program's national title in 1986. The Blue Devils are headed to their seventh NCAA Championship under head coach John Kerr.
