Qualification
Main article: 2020 NCAA Division I men's soccer season

As in previous editions of the NCAA Division I Tournament, the tournament features 48 participants out of a possible field of 208 teams. Of the 48 berths, 24 are allocated to the 20 conference tournament champions and to the regular season winners of the Ivy League, Mid-American Conference, Pac-12 Conference, and West Coast Conference, which do not have tournaments. The remaining 24 berths are supposed to be determined through an at-large process based upon the Rating Percentage Index (RPI) of teams that did not automatically qualify.

The NCAA Selection Committee also names the top sixteen seeds for the tournament, with those teams receiving an automatic bye into the second round of the tournament. The remaining 32 teams play in a single-elimination match in the first round of the tournament for the right to play a seeded team in the second round.
