(NOTE: Prior to 1972, the NCAA sponsored only one championship in men's soccer. In 1972, the NCAA began sponsoring a championship in the College Division, which in turn was split into today's Divisions II and III in 1973. The 1972 College Division Tournament was retroactively considered to be the first D-II championship event. WVU remained in competition in the University Division, which was renamed Division I in 1973, and has remained in D-I to this day.)

Rivalries

Mountain State Derby

West Virginia's biggest rivals are Marshall, as the two sides are the only Division 1 men's soccer teams in the state. Both teams are members of the Sun Belt Conference for men's soccer, and matches between the two teams typically draw large crowds.

Big 12 Derby and Big 12 / SEC Challenge

As West Virginia and UCF are the only two Big 12 schools that sponsor the sport, since 2023, the two teams have in the Sun Belt a rivalry similar to Kentucky and South Carolina, Southeastern Conference members in that their derby is for the honour of their regular conference. In addition, the four teams have a four-way rivalry, the "Big 12 / SEC Challenge," inside the Sun Belt.
