UCLA were the defending National Champion.[2] The Bruins were unable to defend their title as they were defeated in the first round of 2023 tournament by UC Irvine 1–0.[3] Florida State faced off against Stanford in the final. Florida State prevailed 5–1 and won their fourth overall title, all of which have come since 2014. Stanford's 36 game streak of allowing one or fewer goals was snapped and this was the first match where the Cardinal allowed five or more goals in a game since 1996. This was the first national championship match between two undefeated teams and Florida State became the first undefeated champion since Stanford in 2011.[4]

- With the exception of the national championship game, any game tied after the second overtime period is recorded as a tie. If the national championship game is decided in a penalty-kick tiebreaker, the winner of the tiebreaker is counted as having won the game.
- The following conferences received one bid and failed to place a team into the round of 32: America East, ASUN, Big Sky, Big South, CAA, Conference USA, Horizon, MAAC, MAC, Missouri Valley, Mountain West, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot, SoCon, Southland, Summit League, SWAC, WAC. These conferences' records have been consolidated in the "Other" row.
