The 2025 MLS SuperDraft was the 26th edition of the MLS SuperDraft, a sports draft to select amateur, usually collegiate, soccer players that are not affiliate with an MLS club, or college soccer players that had their Homegrown player rights relinquished by their parent MLS club. The draft will be held on December 20, 2024, marking the third year in a row that the draft will be held in December. Despite the draft being held in 2024, the draft retained the 2025 branding.

Format

Historically, the MLS SuperDraft has closely resembled that of the NFL Draft:

1. Any expansion teams receive the first picks. This season, San Diego FC will be entering MLS.
2. Non-playoff clubs receive the next picks in reverse order of prior season finish.
3. Teams that made the MLS Cup Playoffs are then ordered by which round of the playoffs they are eliminated.
4. The winners of the MLS Cup are given the last selection, and the losers the penultimate selection.
