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.
