The 2017 MLS Re-Entry Draft took place on December 15, 2017 (Stage 1) and December 21, 2017 (Stage 2). All 23 Major League Soccer clubs were eligible to participate.[1] The priority order for the MLS Re-Entry Draft was reverse order of finish in 2017, taking into account playoff performance. The 2018 expansion team, Los Angeles FC, had selection 23.

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

  • Players not eligible for free agency who were at least 23 years old in 2017 with a minimum of three years of MLS experience.
  • Players not eligible for free agency who did not receive a bona fide offer and who were at least 25 years old with a minimum of four years of MLS experience, or were at least 30 years old with a minimum of eight years of MLS experience.

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. 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.
