The 2019 MLS Re-Entry Draft will take place on November 26, 2019 (Stage 1) and December 3, 2019 (Stage 2). All 26 Major League Soccer clubs are eligible to participate.[1] The priority order for the MLS Re-Entry Draft is reverse order of finish in 2019, taking into account playoff performance. The 2020 expansion teams, Nashville SC and Inter Miami CF, received selections #25 and #26, respectively.

Available to all teams in Stage 1 of the Re-Entry draft are:

  • Players who are at least 23 years old and have a minimum of three years of MLS experience whose contract options were not exercised by their clubs. They are available at their option salary for 2020.
  • Players who are at least 25 years old with a minimum of four years of MLS experience who are out of contract and whose club did not wish to re-sign them at their previous salary. They are available for at least their 2019 salary.
  • Free Agents that choose to participate.

Players who are not selected in Stage 1 of the Re-Entry Draft will be made available in Stage 2. Clubs selecting players in Stage 2 are able to negotiate a new salary with the player. If a selected player is not under contract, the selecting club is required to make a genuine offer to the player within seven days subject to League Office approval.

Players who remain unselected after Stage 2 are made available to any MLS club on a first-come, first-served basis.

Teams also have the option of passing on their selection.

Available players

Players are required to meet age and service requirements to participate as stipulated by the terms of the MLS Collective Bargaining Agreement. The league released a list of all players available for the Re-Entry Draft on November 22, 2019.[2]
