were the defending regular season champions of the Atlantic Division and Wake Forest were the defending regular season champions of the Coastal Division. Syracuse were the defending ACC tournament champions. Syracuse went on to win the 2022 NCAA tournament and entered the season as defending national champions on top of their league titles. Wake Forest repeated as champions of the Atlantic Division and Notre Dame won the Coastal Division regular season title. Neither of those two teams could use their regular season championships to win the ACC tournament title, as Clemson won as the fourth seed. Nine ACC teams would go on to qualify for the NCAA tournament. Notre Dame and Clemson both qualified for the College Cup and both won their Semifinal victories to face-off in the National Championship game. Clemson would go on to win the game 2–1. This was Clemson's second title in three years, and it marked the third straight year that an ACC team won the college soccer championship.
