The 2023 Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association tournament bracket has been set.

There was drama all the way to the final match on the final day of the season. Ball State beat Purdue Fort Wayne to share the regular season championship with Ohio State and Loyola Chicago. The former beat the latter earlier in the day to also claim a share. It is the first three-way tie for the MIVA regular season championship since 1996 and just the second in the history of the conference.

In addition to the three-way tie at the top, there was a three-way tie for fourth between Lewis, Purdue Fort Wayne and Lindenwood and a two-way tie for seventh between McKendree and Quincy.

Ball State (11-3) will be the No. 1 seed, winning the three-way tiebreaker against Loyola Chicago (11-3) and Ohio State (11-3). No. 2 Loyola then won the subsequent tiebreaker against No. 3 Ohio State to claim the No. 2 seed. Lewis (7-7) won the tiebreaker against Purdue Fort Wayne (7-7) and Lindenwood (7-7) to earn the No. 4 seed and the final first-round home match. The No. 5 Mastodons won the next tiebreaker against No. 6 Lindenwood. No. 7 McKendree (1-13) won the tiebreaker against No. 8 Quincy (1-13).
