Eastern Illinois is currently a full member of the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC), which did not sponsor men's soccer until the 2023 season. Before the OVC launched its men's soccer league, EIU was an associate member of the Summit League for men's soccer, and remains an associate of that conference in men's and women's swimming & diving.
In 1982, EIU was one of the eight charter members of the Association of Mid-Continent Universities (AMCU) which changed its name to the Mid-Continent Conference (Mid-Con) in 1989 and became the Summit League in 2007. The Panthers played soccer in the AMCU/Mid-Con until leaving for membership in the OVC in 1996. Upon joining the OVC, EIU also became an affiliate member of the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) for men's soccer. The Panthers swimming & diving teams had returned to the Mid-Con in 1996; in 2011, EIU cut its membership to only two conferences as the men's soccer team returned to what is now the Summit League.
In March 2023, the OVC announced that it would start a men's soccer league in the 2023 season, allowing EIU to align men's soccer with the bulk of its other sports,[4]
