The 2014 Atlantic Coast Conference men's soccer season was the 62nd season of men's varsity soccer in the conference. It marked the arrival of the Louisville Cardinals men's soccer program, who joined the ACC from the American Athletic Conference. The Maryland Terrapins men's soccer program, who were both the defending regular season and tournament champions, departed the conference for the Big Ten Conference.
Changes from 2013
- Louisville will be joining the conference, and will also be opening the new Dr. Mark and Cindy Lynn Stadium, a 5,300-seat on-campus facility.
- Maryland will be leaving the conference for the Big Ten.
- 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.
