The 2024 Western Athletic Conference men's soccer tournament was the postseason men's soccer tournament for the Western Athletic Conference held from November 10 to November 16, 2024. The five-match tournament took place at GCU Stadium in Phoenix, Arizona on the campus of Grand Canyon University. The six-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular-season divisional conference play. The defending champions were the Cal Baptist Lancers.[2][3] California Baptist was unable to successfully defend their title as the third overall seed, losing to Seattle University in the Semifinals. Seattle would go on to win the tournament, defeating fifth seed San Jose State 3–0 in the Final.[4][5] This was Seattle's sixth WAC Tournament victory in program history, the most in conference history. It was the first title for second-year head coach Nate Daligcon.[6] As tournament champions, Seattle earned the WAC's automatic bid to the 2024 NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament.

Seeding
Six of the ten Western Athletic Conference men's soccer programs qualified for the 2024 Tournament. Teams were seeded based on their regular season points per game due to an uneven number of games being played by each team. Tiebreakers were used to determine the seedings of teams who finished with identical points per game. No tiebreakers were required as each team finished with a different points per game.[7][8]
