Chicago State Cougars men's soccer

The Chicago State Cougars men's soccer program represents the Chicago State University in all NCAA Division I men's college soccer competitions.^[2] The Cougars soccer team began play in NCAA Division I in the 2020–21 season and the Western Athletic Conference in the 2021 season.^[3] CSU moved to the Mid-American Conference (MAC) as a men's soccer affiliate for the 2022 season. After that season, the MAC shut down its men's soccer league, and the Cougars joined the newly formed men's soccer league of the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC).^[4] They would only play OVC soccer for one season, as Chicago State will become a full member of the Northeast Conference (NEC) in July 2024.^[5]

The Cougars play their home matches at SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview, Illinois.^[6] Norris Howze is the current head coach.^[7]
