The U Sports Men's Soccer Championship is a Canadian university soccer tournament conducted by U Sports to determine the men's national champion. The tournament involves the champions from each of Canada's four regional sports conferences. The Sam Davidson Memorial Trophy is awarded to the winners.

York is the reigning champion and won for the sixth time in 2025 to become the second-most successful program behind UBC, who have 14 national championships. Alberta and Victoria are the next most successful programs, having won five championships each.

The 2020 championship tournament was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Format

The championship features eight teams in single-elimination matches to determine a national champion. The championship hosts 11 games over four days at a predetermined host venue. The host team is automatically qualified for the tournament, as is each of the conference champions, with additional berths awarded for the remaining spots.
