2024 MLS Expansion Draft: Eligible players & how to watch

Before competing in 2025 and formally becoming MLS team No. 30, San Diego will select up to five players from the eligible player list (354 total).

Twenty-nine teams were each allowed to protect 12 eligible players. No teams were exempt.

Once one player is selected from a club’s unprotected roster, that club is removed from the remainder of the Expansion Draft and may not have a second player picked.
