The 2019 MLS Re-Entry Draft took place on November 26, 2019 (Stage 1) and December 3, 2019 (Stage 2). All 26 Major League Soccer clubs were eligible to participate.[1] The priority order for the MLS Re-Entry Draft was 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 were:
- Players who were at least 23 years old and had a minimum of three years of MLS experience whose contract options were not exercised by their clubs. They were available at their option salary for 2020.
- Players who were 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 were available for at least their 2019 salary.
- Free Agents that chose to participate.
Players who were not selected in Stage 1 of the Re-Entry Draft were made available in Stage 2. Clubs selecting players in Stage 2 were able to negotiate a new salary with the player. If a selected player was not under contract, the selecting club was required to make a genuine offer to the player within seven days subject to League Office approval.
Players who were unselected after Stage 2 were made available to any MLS club on a first-come, first-served basis.
Teams also had the option of passing on their selection.
