The Georgia State Panthers men's soccer team represents Georgia State University (GSU) in all NCAA Division I men's college soccer competitions. As of the 2022 season, the Panthers play in their full-time home of the Sun Belt Conference (SBC), which reinstated the sport after a one-season hiatus. During the SBC's men's soccer hiatus, GSU had been a single-sport member of the Mid-American Conference. However, following a major conference realignment in 2021 and 2022 brought several new men's soccer schools to the SBC, that league announced it would reinstate men's soccer no later than 2023, eventually moving that date forward to 2022.

Rivalries

Georgia State's main rival is Georgia Southern. The multi-sports rivalry is known as "Modern Day Hate". State and Southern remain conference rivals in men's soccer, as Southern moved that sport to the MAC along with State before the SBC reinstated men's soccer in 2022.
