The Re-Entry Draft will occur in two stages, continuing offseason roster-building events ahead of the 2023 MLS season.
Re-Entry Draft, Stage 1
The Re-Entry Draft, Stage 1 begins on Thursday, Nov. 17 at 1 pm ET. Similar to the End-of-Year Waivers process, the Re-Entry Draft is conducted in the reverse order of the final 2022 season standings, keeping in mind postseason performance and any trades impacting selection order.
During the Re-Entry Draft, MLS clubs can select players who are at least 22 years old and have a minimum of one year of MLS service who are out of contract and did not receive a Bona Fide Offer or whose contract options were not exercised by their clubs.
*Note: The Re-Entry List is subject to change since players can opt-out.
Re-Entry Draft, Stage 2
The final postseason roster mechanism will be Stage 2 of the Re-Entry Draft, which will be conducted on Tuesday, Nov. 22 at 1 pm ET. The list of players eligible for Re-Entry, Stage 2 will also be announced on the morning of Nov. 22.
