The season was highlighted by Michigan State reaching the College Cup (final four) of the NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Tournament, a feat they had not accomplished since 1968.

There, making their first appearance in half a century, they lost to eventual national-runners up, Akron, 5–1.

Three players from this team were drafted in the 2019 MLS SuperDraft: DeJuan Jones, Ryan Sierakowski, and Jimmy Hague.

The following players were part of the 2018 Michigan State men's soccer team.
