The ACC adopted a divisional format (Atlantic and Coastal) similar to what they did for other sports, allowing for regular season division winners to be recognized as well. All full-time members were in their respective divisions, while Notre Dame was assigned to the Coastal Division to balance the conference at six teams apiece in each division.
The 2014 ACC Men's Soccer Tournament, was held from November 5–16, 2014. 1st round and quarterfinal games were held at campus sites based on higher seed, while the semifinals and finals were held at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina. The Clemson Tigers won the tournament to earn their 3rd ACC tournament championship and first since 2001. The tournament win also accounted for the Tigers' 14th official ACC championship, as the Tigers had won 11 conference titles in regular season play prior to the start of the ACC tournament in 1987.
