2015 MLS Re-Entry Draft

The two-stage 2015 MLS Re-Entry Draft took place on December 11, 2015, (stage 1) and December 17, 2015, (stage 2). All 20 Major League Soccer clubs were eligible to participate.^[1] The priority order for the draft was reverse order of finish in 2015, taking into account play-off performance.

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 MLS service years whose options were not exercised by their clubs (available at option salary for 2016).
• Players who were at least 25-years-old with a minimum of four years of MLS experience who were out of contract and whose club did not wish to re-sign them at their previous salary (available for at least their 2015 salary).
• Free agents who chose to participate.

Players who were not selected in stage 1 were made available in stage 2. Clubs selecting players in stage 2 were able to negotiate a new salary with the player. Players who remained 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.
