The 2019 Summit League men's soccer season will be the 14th season of men's varsity soccer in the conference. The season will begin in late August 2019 and conclude in mid-November 2019.
Denver enter the season as the defending regular season and tournament champions.
This is the final season for Purdue Fort Wayne as a Summit member. The Mastodons will leave for the Horizon League on July 1, 2020.[1] The Summit will maintain its men's soccer membership at six with the return of the Kansas City Roos (formerly known as the UMKC Kangaroos), which will rejoin at the same date after seven seasons in the Western Athletic Conference.[2]

Homegrown players
[edit]The Homegrown Player Rule is a Major League Soccer program that allows MLS teams to sign local players from their own development academies directly to MLS first team rosters. Before the creation of the rule in 2008,[23] every player entering Major League Soccer had to be assigned through one of the existing MLS player allocation processes, such as the MLS SuperDraft.
To place a player on its homegrown player list, making him eligible to sign as a homegrown player, players must have resided in that club's home territory and participated in the club's youth development system for at least one year.[24] Players can play college soccer and still be eligible to sign a homegrown contract.
